    See below.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Assuming "Line x is perpendicular to line y is perpendicular to line z." means:

    x is perpendicular to y y is perpendicular to z

    If the slope of one line is 4 then the perpendicular line has a slope - 1/4. Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes which multiply to - 1.

    So 4 * - 1/4 = - 1.

    If the slope of x is 4 then the slope of y is - 1/4.

    If the slope of y is - 1/4 then the slope of z is 4.
