Line through the points (-2,6) and (4,80 is perpendicular to the line through the points (8,12) and `(x , 24)dot` Find the value of `xdot`

Explanation

Let points be A `(-2,6)`, B`(4,8)`, C`(8,12)` and D`(x, 24)`

If two lines are perpendicular, then product of their slope is -1


So, Slope of A B times Slope of `C D=-1` ……..(1)


We know that slope of a line through the points `(x_1, y_1)`,`(x_2, y_2)` is `m`=`frac(y_2-y_1)(x_2-x_1)`


Slope of line A B passing through A(-2,6) and B(4,8) is
