Perpendicular lines have the negative reciprocal slope, so the slope of your new line will be -1/4 and the current equation will be as follows:
y = -1/4x + b
(where b is the y intercept)

to find b, plug in point A and you'll get:
2 = -1/4(16) + b
2 = -4 + b
6 = b

the equation will be:
y = -1/4x + 6

What is the midpoint and distance between points P(3,5) and Q(7,5)
storchak [24]

The formula of a midpoint:

M\left(\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2};\ \dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)

The formula of a distance between two points:

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

We have the points P(3, 5) and Q(7, 5). Substitute:

x=\dfrac{3+7}{2}=\dfrac{10}{2}=5\\\\y=\dfrac{5+5}{2}=\dfrac{10}{2}=5

<h3>M(5, 5)</h3>

d=\sqrt{(5-5)^2+(7-3)^2}=\sqrt{0^2+4^2}=\sqrt{4^2}=4

<h3>Answer:</h3><h3>Midpoint = (5, 5)</h3><h3>Distance = 4</h3>
