B. False

Explanation:

I hope this helps!

Short version of the answer.

Answer 2

False

Explanation:

A perpendicular line parallel to the y- axis has equation

x = c

where c is the value of the x- coordinates the line passes through.

The line passes through (1, 5) with x- coordinate 1, thus

x = 1 ← equation of perpendicular line
