D. y = -2x -6


Sagot :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

As perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, the options will have a slope of 6/3 = 2

The only option with a slope of 2 is B. y = 2x -12

A has slope of -2

C has slope of 4

D has slope of -2

only thing to do is to verify the point

-8 = 2(2) - 12

-8 = -8  check
