The translation of the question given is

A line that passes through the points A (2,1) and B (6,3) and another line passes through A and through the point (0, y). What is y worth, if both lines are perpendicular?

Answer:

y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Line 1 that passes through A (2,1) and B (6,3)  

Slope (m1) = 3-1/6-2 = 2/4 = 1/2

y - 1 = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] ( x -2)

2y - 2 = x- 2

y = [tex]\frac{x}{2}[/tex]

Line 2 passes through A (2,1) and (0,y)

slope (m2) =[tex]\frac{y-1}{-2}[/tex]

Line 1 and Line 2  are perpendicular

m1*m2 = -1

[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]  * [tex]\frac{y-1}{-2}[/tex] = -1

y-1 = 4

y = 5

slope = -2

Equation of Line 2

Y-1 = -2(x-2)

y -1 = -2x +4

2x +y = 5
