B and C
A line is perpendicular to another if the slopes are negative reciprocals of each other. Looking at the A, there are no equations with a slope of -3/5, so A is a pair to nothing. B is the negative reciprocal of C, so those are perpendicular. D is nothing.

b,c b slope 3 and c slope is - 1/3 rule two lines are perpendicular if slope is the negative inverse of the other.

y =mx +c where m is the slope
a) has slope = 5/3
b) has slope = 3
c) has slope = -1/3
d) has slope = 1/3
the product of the slopes of two perpendicular lines = -1.
So b) & c) are perpendicular
