Explanation:

alright. i calculated each line that is given, and i sadly don't have the time to place them. but, ill still make it easier for u and give the points of each one, and u can place them and see which one is perpendicular and that passes through the given point.

a=(-3,88)

b=(1/3,28)

c=(3,88)

d=(1/3,-12)

i apologize for not having an obvious answer, but hope this helps!
