E IMO.

You already know B from the question, it provides no additional info.

From A, m could be of any orientation intersecting at (1,-1)

Together, Insufficient

a. k and m intersect at (1, -1)
b. k intersects x -axis at (1, 0)
IMO C
We can calculate their slopes using the points given. If its perpendicular= -1.


Whts OA?
