Two points determine a line. In slope intercept form we have:
y = -2x + b
So:
-12 = -2(3) + b and [first equation]
k = -2(6) + b [second equation]
We have a system of simultaneous equations with two unknowns. The first is trivially easy to solve:
-12 = -6 + b [Evaluate -2(3)]
-6 = b [Add +6 to each side]
So we substitute this into the second equation:
k = -2(6) + -6 = -18
We could double check our work knowing that m=Δy/Δx
We expect m to be -2. Does:
-2 = (-18 - -12)/(6 - 3) = -6/3 = -2?

Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Two lines are perpendicular when the product of their slopes = - 1
line 1: y = 3x + 4
(3 , 0) ; (-3,2)
Slope of line 1 = 3
Slope of line 2 = -1/3
3* -1/3 = -1
