C. y = 1/3x +9

D. 3y = -x + 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes.

The exemplar equation has slope

9x - 3y = 18

    - 3y = -9x + 18

        y = 3x - 6

m = 3

so perpendicular slope will be -1/3

D has such a slope

3y = -x + 1

 y = (-1/3)x + 1/3
