Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
y= mx+b is the general equation where m is the slope
y= 1/2 x +6 has the slope 1/2
perpendicular lines have the slope negative reciprocal
so the slope of the ⊥ line is -2
y = -x +b , yet for point (4, 1) the x=4 and y =1
1= -4 +b so b= 5
the equation of the ⊥ line is y= -2x+5
