Answer:

D

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y =
(1)/(3) x - 2 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m =
(1)/(3)

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is


m_(perpendicular) = -
(1)/(m) = -
(1)/((1)/(3) ) = - 3 , then

y = - 3x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (4, - 7) into the partial equation

- 7 = - 12 + c ⇒ c = - 7 + 12 = 5

y = - 3x + 5 → D
