Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
y = - 4x + 9 ← is in slope- intercept form
with slope m = - 4
Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is
= -
= -
=
, hence
y = x + c ← is the partial equation of the perpendicular line
To find c substitute (4, 5) into the partial equation
5 = 1 + c ⇒ c = 5 - 1 = 4
y = x + 4 ← equation of perpendicular line → C
The measure of angle x will be 88 degrees. Then the correct option is C.

<h3>What is law of cosine?</h3>Let there is a triangle ABC such that |AB| = a units, |AC| = b units, and |BC| = c units and the internal angle A is of θ degrees, then we have:
2ab cos θ = a² + b² – c²
The triangle is shown below.
Then the value of the variable x will be
2 · 7 · 10 · cos x = 7² + 10² – 12²
140 · cos x = 49 + 100 – 144
cos x = (149 – 144) / 140
x = 87.95 ≈ 88°
Then the correct option is C.
