X = 3 is vertical line, then perpendicular line is horizontal.
Horizontal line passing through point (0, -4) is y = -4

y = -4
Slope: x= 3 is a vertical line, so a line perpendicular will be horizontal and have a slope of 0.
Use the equation of a line in point slope form
y- y1 = m (x-x1)
y + 4 = 0 (x-0)
y +4 = 0
y = -4
