A.
2y = –3x + 5
2x + 3y = 4
B.
2x – 8y = 9
12x – 3y = 7
C.
y = 2x – 7
x + y = 3
D.
3x + 6y = 8
y = 2x – 8

@Mertsj
OpenStudy (mertsj):
Solve each equation for y. Then multiply the slopes. If you get -1, they are perpendicular.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
How do you do that?
OpenStudy (mertsj):
You mean you don't know how to make the equation say y= ???

No multiply the slope
OpenStudy (mertsj):
In this equation: y=2x-5
What is the slope?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2
OpenStudy (mertsj):
In this equation: y=-1/2x + 6
What is the slope?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-1/2

multiply the slopes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-1?
OpenStudy (mertsj):
Those lines are perpendicular.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
What you just did was a an explanation you made yourself right?
OpenStudy (mertsj):
Yes, Now you do the same with your answer choices. When you find one where you get -1 for the product of the slopes, you will know that is the answer.

Okay, I think it is A
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yea its A
OpenStudy (anonymous):
lol why did you copy @Mertsj image?
OpenStudy (mertsj):
It is NOT A
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i think its a nice image and i dont see a it as a violation on openstufy hand book so i did

And its a personal opinion I belieave its A
OpenStudy (mertsj):
This is America. You have a right to be wrong.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok thats nice im verry much aware of my own country and i could be but in MY OWN OPINION i think its A
OpenStudy (mertsj):
And anyway, why don't you try that "personal opinion" stuff the next time you have a math test?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i do and ive never made below a 75 ! NEXT ?

Ugh I thought it was A!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
and were you right ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
out standing at lest you had youer own opinion
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@Mertsj says its wrong
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Well... its not D or C right?
