Answer:
- at first draw perpendicular from point on the line
- write direction cosine of line on which perpendicular is drawn
- get the coordinates of the point on the line
- now use perpendicular condition for d.cs to get the coordinates
- at last put the value in the place of x and y and z
hint; condition for perpendicularity is a1a2+b1b2+c1c2=0
hope it helps any confusion please do tell

Answer:
Perpendicular lines have opposite-reciprocal slopes, so the slope of the line we want to find is 1/2. Plugging in the point given into the equation y = 1/2x + b and solving for b, we get b = 6. Thus, the equation of the line is y = ½x + 6. Rearranged, it is –x/2 + y = 6.
