Please help me in this


What is the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the line y = –14x – 1 and passes through the point (3, 7)?

A. y = –4x + 19

B. y = 4x – 5

C. y = 14x + 254

D. y = –4x + 31

A perpendicular line will have a slope equal to the negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line, so the perpendicular line's slope would be 1/14. None of your answer options has a slope of 1/14. Did you mean y = -(1/4)x - 1?
