The line ll is represented by 4x−y+9=04x - y + 9 = 0. A point R(k,2k)R(k,2k) is such that the line through RR perpendicular to ll passes through the fixed point S(1,−3)S(1,-3). a. (i) Find the slope of ll. b. (ii) Write the general form of the line passing through RR and perpendicular to ll. c. (iii) Using the condition that this line also passes through SS, determine the possible value(s) of kk and hence obtain the required equation(s) of the line(s).
