· Perpendicular lines have slopes that are opposite reciprocals of each other

· Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept


If the slope of the first line is 3, the slope of the second line is -1/3. Since the lines intersect at the origin, neither of them have a y-intercept.


Answer:

C) y = -1/3x
