There are an infinite number of possible answers to this question since you didn't bother to share your multiple choice answers.

Examine the coefficient on in the given equation. Then, one pair of possible ordered pairs at a time, calculate the slope of the line through each pair of points using the slope formula:



where and are the coordinates of the given points.

The slope of the line that is perpendicular to the given line is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line.
