Given information:
Line perpendicular to
Line passes through the points at
Formula used:
Slope,
Calculation:
Line passes through the points at
Here
Using slope formula to calculate slope of line
On solving
Given line
Subtract 4 both side
On solving
Divide by 2 both side
On solving
On simplify
Then slope of given line is
When lines are perpendicular
Then
Substitute value of slopes of perpendicular lines
Then
On solving
Add 2 both side
Then
Hence, answer is
