The answer is C, y= -3/2x-3 and y=-2/3x+4.

A way to remember if a pair of lines are perpendicular or not is by looking at the two slopes of the equation. In both of those equations, we see that 3/2 and -2/3 are negative reciprocals. Perpendicular slopes are always negative reciprocals meaning that only answer C is the correct one.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

this is because perpendicular lines have the opposite reciprocal slopes. So, 3/2 is the opposite reciprocal of -2/3 since it is negative and that is the opposite sign. Then, it is the reciprocal of the fraction since the numerator and the denominator are switched. If you check the other answer options, you will see that none of the slopes are the exact opposite reciprocal.

It is possible to have an obtuse triangle that also contains a 35° angle.
Yes, this is true.
That's because an obtuse angle just means it's more than 90 but less than 180 degrees.

It is possible to have a right triangle that also contains a 110° angle.
No, this is false.
That's because a right triangle already has 90. That means that the two remaining angles must add up to 90 and not more or less.

It is possible to have an acute triangle that also contains a 70° angle.
Yes, this is true.
An acute triangle means that all of the angles are more than 0 but less than 90.

Hope this helps :)
