1. Determine the horizontal and vertical changes for line BC.

From point BB to point CC, the line moves 22 units to the right and 33 units down.

2. Determine the required changes for a perpendicular line.

For a line to be perpendicular to BCBC, its horizontal and vertical changes must be swapped, with one direction reversed. It must move 33 units to the right and 22 units up (or 33 units left and 22 units down).

3. Check the given options to find the perpendicular line.

Checking line BFBF: from point FF to point BB, the line moves 33 units to the right and 22 units up. This matches the condition for perpendicularity.

Answer

BF (option 1)
