Answer:
D. y = 4x - 6
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation that is perpendicular to the line MN should have a slope that when multiplied by the slope of line MN will result to negative one. Therefore,
Therefore,
m₁ × m₂ = -1
Using the 2 coordinates of MN let's find the slope,
(-7, 6)(5, 3)
Therefore,
m₁ = 3 - 6 / 5 - (-7) = -3 / 12 = - 1 / 4
The equation that represent a line perpendicular to the line MN is
y = 4x - 6 because the slope slope(m₂) is 4.
From our formula,
4 × - 1 / 4 = - 1
So, option D meets the requirement.
