We are given the equation of the line m1, also note this line is "linear".
Option (1) gives us an equation for another "linear" line. so we could figure this question out with this choice alone. therefore, this choice is sufficient alone.
Option (2) gives us 2 points on a line. In this choice, we are not informed whether m2 is linear or not (m2 could be a parabola in which these points reside, it could be a straight line, or any other of the infinite possibilities that could connect these 2 points). Remember that we need at least 3 points along a line to determine whether the line is linear. This choice is insufficient by itself.
Therefore, given these two options, the answer is
A

we need to know the gradient of line m2: to find out whether m1*m2 = -1.
This info is available in either of the options so C.

(1) m2 is given by y = -x/3 + 1
(2) Points (3,0) and (-6, 3) lie on line m2
