A line perpendicular to another occurs at the negative reciprocal of the slope of the original line. Why this is, I can further explain in the comments if you're interested. What is a reciprocal though? a reciprocal, if you're unfamiliar, is just the flipped form of it.
As an example, the negative reciprocal of 1/4 is -4/1. I multiplied 1/4 by a negative, and flipped the fraction.
So, what would the negative reciprocal of 3 be? well, you can imagine 3 to be 3/1 to help. so we multiply it by a negative, which gives us -3/1, and then we flip it, giving us -1/3. This is the slope of our unknown line. Because of this, we can mark out...well all of them haha. You need to double check your question and answers provided. With the info you've given me, none of your answers are correct. Let me know what happened if you can! if not, I would question your teacher, cause they messed up somewhere haha.
Answer:
112 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
9x12 = 108
108 + 4 1/2 = 112 1/2
Well m is 2 and b is 3
Using the equation y=Mx+B
-5/2+5

Answer:
perpendicular line through a point on a line
Step-by-step explanation:
The circle centered at C seems intended to produce point D at the same distance as point B. That is, C is the midpoint of BD.
The circles centered at B and D with radius greater than BC seems intended to produce intersection points G and H. (It appears accidental that those points are also on circle C. As a rule, that would be difficult to do in one pass.)
So. points G and H are both equidistant from points B and D. A line between them will intersect point C at right angles to AB.
Segment GH is perpendicular to AB through point C (on AB).
