The graph above shows line H. Line J (not shown) does not

[Mike@Magoosh]

The graph in the attachment shows line H. Line J (not shown) does not pass through the first quadrant. Which of the following could be true?

I. line J is perpendicular to line H
II. line J is parallel to line H
III. line J intersect line H in the third quadrant

(A) I only
(B) II only
(C) I and II only
(D) I and III only
(E) I, II, and III

For line J to pass through the first quadrant, it has to have a positive slope.
I : negative slope
II : positive slope
III : positive slope or negative slope

Choose D
