Okay, few things. We have latex for a reason. So that people don't have to try and decipher what the heck you just said in that drawing. We darn near need someone to decode those hieroglyphics.

Second, we do not just give answers here, as you have just done.

Third.

Asker, solve the equation for y and get it in y-intercept form. Then the line that is perpendicular to that one is the one that has the inverse of the slope of the original.

Also, I would not say that it is B.

@austinL , it's not only the inverse, it's the inverse with a negative signal, at least those hieroglyphics were right
