Question

Please answer this question !! Thank u tons !! Will give brainliest !!

Answer 1

Answer:

D) y = -1/3x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes. This means that since the slope of this line is 3, the slope of a line perpendicular to it would be -1/3 because:

Original slope: 3 (3/1)

Reciprocal (flipped): 1/3

Negative reciprocal (opposite sign): -1/3

The only equation with a slope of -1/3 is D. Therefore, that is the correct answer.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer: D

Step-by-step explanation:

The key to finding the line perpendicular to the one given is teh slope. The slope is the opposite reciprocal of the original line.

m=3

perpendicular m=-1/3

Now that we know the slope, we can see which of our answer choices have -1/3 as the slope. We can see D is the only option that has -1/3 for slope.
