Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's solve the problem based on the information in the image.
Step 1: Find the slope of line
To find the slope of line , we can use the coordinates of points and .
- Coordinates of (from the graph):
- Coordinates of (from the graph):
The formula for the slope between two points and is:
Step 2: Find the slope of the line perpendicular to
The slope of the line perpendicular to is the negative reciprocal of . So:
Step 3: Equation of the line passing through point
Now, we need to find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to and passes through point . The point-slope form of the equation of a line is:
Substituting , and :
Simplifying:
Step 4: Check which point lies on this line
We now check the given options by substituting the coordinates into the equation .
