Answer:
The equation of the perpendicular line is 2x-4y -12=0
Step-by-step explanation:
Explanation
Given that the equation of the line is 4x+2y-12=0
The equation of the perpendicular line b x -ay +k=0
The equation of the perpendicular line 2x -4y +k=0
This line passes through the point (8,1)
2(8)-4(1)+k=0
⇒ 16 -4+k=0
⇒ 12 +k=0
k =-12
The equation of the perpendicular line is 2x-4y -12=0
