Answer:

The answer is the second option, 1!

Explanation:

Let's first find the equation of the perpendicular line.

When a line is perpendicular to another, it has a slope that's the negative reciprocal of the line it's perpendicular to.

Which means the slope of our perpendicular equation would be 4/3 as it is the negative reciprocal of -3/4.

using the fact that the perpendicular line crosses the point (-3,-3), we can use y-y1 = m (x-x1) to create the equation and find the y intercept.

y + 3 = 4/3(x+3)

y + 3 = 4/3x + 4

y = 4/3x + 1

This is the equation of the perpendicular line.

As we can see, the y-intercept is 1.

tadah!
