Slope of AD =b00a/2=2ba

Slope of BE=b/2a/2=ba

Since AD and BE are perpendicular

 2baba=1  a2=2b2               (i)  

Slope of AC is – b/a 

Question Image

 Equation of the line through (a, b) perpendicular to AC is

yb=cb(xa) axby=a2b2

±2bxby=b2 from (i)

±2xy=b  y=±2xb

So an equation of required line is y=2xb
