Answer:
There is something wrong in the answer options. Please check the equations and formatting.
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming the referenced equation is y = 3x + 1 (and not y - 3x + 1), we can say the following.
This is written in the form of y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b the y-intercept (the value of y when x=0).
The slope, as I've written it, is 3. Parallel lines will have the same slope (but a different b). Perpendicular lines will have a slope that is the negative inverse of the slope of the reference line. In this case, it would have a slope of -(1/3).
None of the answer options come close to this. So something is wrong in the question, unless "NONE" is an option.
