Answer:

Option c is correct !!

Explanation:

[ Refer to the attachment ]

As y = mx + c is an equation to represent the straight line ; we equate the given line with this equation !!

Where m is slope of the line

and c is y intercept !!

We get , m = -3/2 and c = 4

Also, two perpendicular lines follows the equation :-


(m1)(m2) = - 1

Where m nth is slope of nth line !!
