Answer:

FIRST OPTION: -3

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, if two lines are perpendicular to each other, then their slopes are negative reciprocals.

In this case you can observe that that the slope of the line is \frac{1}{3} and you know that the other line is perpendicular to this line. Therefore, their slopes are negative reciprocals.

This means that:

If slope_1=\frac{1}{3} ,then  slope_2=-3

This matches with the first option.

A) c=18
0.5c^2 +13=94
subtract 13 from both sides
0.5c^2 = 81
Square root of both sides to get c alone
0.5c=9
double c to make it just c
c=18

B) x=8
(x-2)^2+1=37
Subtract one from each side
(x-2)^2=36
square root each side
x-2=6
add the 2 over
x=8
