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 3.

 

Analysis of Options:

A. Slope calculation using points (−3, 0) and (0, −1):

 

This slope does not match 3, so this graph is not perpendicular.

 

B. Slope calculation using points (−3, 4) and (0, 5):
