You find the variable x or y in one of the lines of the problem and then substitute the value of the variable you first found into the other line of the problem to find the other variable. Then, you plug all of the values you found into either line/equation of the problem to ensure that one side of the equation you pick is equal to what is on the other side of the "=" symbol.
Answer:
assuming the three options are no solutions, one solution and all real numbers, i would say the final option. i forgot what the proper wording is thoough

Explanation
So first we’re gonna change the equation to y=Mx+b by subtracting the 8x and then dividing both sides by -4. This can be show like this
8x-4y=12
-8x. -8x
-4y=-8x+12
/-4. /-4
Y=2x-3
So now that we have the equation in Y=Mx+b. The problem still isn’t done because it’s asking us to set up an equation that’s perpendicular. Which means the slope becomes the opposite
So the slope isn’t 2 anymore but instead -1/2! So now that we know that we need to make the line go through the origin which is very easy because you can just set the y intercept to 0.
So now that the perpendicular line is
Y=-1/2x or y=-1/2x +0
I hope I explain this well!

If you know that y = 6. You just have to switch Y by 6.
x + 2y = 16
x + 2*6 = 16
x + 12 = 16
x = 16 - 12
x= 4
4 + 2*6 = 16
Hope this helps !
