Question

Select the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the line on the graph and passes through the point (3, 2). (1 point) y = 1/3 x + 3 y = - 1/3 x + 3 y = 3 x + 2 y = - 1/3 x + 2

Answer 1

y = - 1/3 x + 3

Explanation:

You don't even need to know anything about perpendicular lines to properly answer this question. (That is why the missing graph is irrelevant.) Only one of the offered answer choices goes through the point (3, 2):

y = -1/3x +3

y = -1/3(3) +3 = 2 . . . . . (x, y) = (3, 2) is on this line
