First: perpendicular lines have the opposite slope of each other >
For e.g.

Line 1 > slope = 3

Line 2 is perpendicular to line 1 > slope = -1/3

P.S. Please complete the problem :-)

If 2 lines are pependicular, they have unfavourable reciprocal slopes. as an occasion, y = 3*x is perpendicular to y = (-a million/3)*x. regrettably, i think of you have mistyped your challenge, as no 2 of those alternatives are perpendicular to one yet another. until you meant to place in writing y = x and y = -x for alternatives c) and d). Then alternatives a) and c) might the two be perpendicular to selection d).

Line equation
y = mx + b

(a) m1 = 1
(b) m2 = 2
(c) m3 = 1
(d) m4 = 1

Perpendicular lines >> slope first x slope second = -1
None of them are perpendicular to any

Your question is not complete, but...
perpendicular lines have slopes that are riciprocal, like
2 and 1/2. or -3 and -1/3 (whem multiplied they equal 1). Okay?

none of the equations represent perpindicular line, because you have to have one equation with a whole number in front of the x, and the other equation with the negative reciprocal of the whole number in front of the x.
