Answer:

B. y = 9/2x + 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the negative reciprocal of the slope of the original line and use the point-slope formula  y − y 1 = m ( x − x 1 )  to find the line perpendicular to  2 x +9 y = − 30 .

y = 9 /2 x + 36                        PERPENDICULAR

Find the slope of the original line and use the point-slope formula  y − y 1 = m ( x − x 1 )  to find the line parallel to  2 x + 9 y = − 30 .

y =− 2 /9 x − 16 /9                     PARALLEL
