Algebra-1

To find the graph that is perpendicular to the line given by  , we need to determine the line with a slope that is the negative reciprocal of .

 

Given Equation: Slope m =

 

Perpendicular Slope:

The negative reciprocal of is .

 

Analysis of Options:

A. Slope calculation using points (−5, −2) and (0, −6):

 

This slope does not match , so this graph is not perpendicular.

 

B. Slope calculation using points (0, −1) and (4, 4):
