Answer:

C. y + 7 = -7(x - 3)

Explanation:

The equation of a line is:

y - y₀ = m(x - x₀)

where m is the slope and (x₀, y₀) is the point which the line passes through

The product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1

so if given lines slope is ¹/₇ them:

¹/₇·m = -1

m = -7

(3, -7) ⇒ x₀ = 3, y₀ = -7

Therefore:

y - (-7) = -7(x - 3)

y + 7 = -7(x - 3)
