It's B on ed

Rylie Navarro · Answer 2

When given a line x = "some number", this is a vertical line. No matter what the y value is the x is always - 3. A vertical line has undefined slope (or no slope). The line that's perpendicular is a horizontal line. A horizontal line has zero slope - - the x changes, the y does not.

Thus, a line a perpendicular to x = - 3 has zero slope. (choice "C")
