    For perpendicular lines:

    "Their slopes' product is - 1"

    As these lines should be parallel, so their slopes would be the same.

    Slope of line n:

    8/14 = 4/7

    Slope of the other line:

    k/7

    Equating them:

    4/7 * k/7 = - 1

    4k / 49 = - 1

    4k = - 49

    k = - 49/4 = - 12.25

    This means k = - 12.25

    Sorry for confusion
