Answer:
Option (4). y = 3x - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given question is incomplete; here is the complete question.
What is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the given line and passes through the point (3, 4)?
y = –1/3x + 5
y = –1/3x + 3
y = 3x + 2
y = 3x − 5
Line given in the graph passes through the points (-3, 2) and (0, 1).
Slope of the given line =
m =
m =
Let the equation of a line perpendicular to this line is,
y - y' = m'(x - x') [Given line passes through (x', y')]
By the property of perpendicular lines,
m × m' = -1
() × m' = -1
m' = 3
Equation of the perpendicular line will be,
y - 4 = 3(x - 3)
y - 4 = 3x - 9
y = 3x - 5
Option (4) will be the answer.
