Why laravel is showing null when I am sending a formdata request from Vuejs?

I am using the vue2-editor library.When I upload an image , I create a formdata and append the uploaded image to it . But when I send this form data to server it shows null!

The vue js code

 handleImageAdded(file, editor, cursorLocation, resetUploader) {
        let formdata = new FormData();
        formdata.append("image", file);
        axios.post('/upload/answer/image', {
            formdata
          })
          .then(response => {
            console.log(response.data);
          });

      }
    

The laravel code

Route::post('/upload/answer/image', function (Request $request) {
    dd($request->all());
});

The above code shows null! However the below code works

    
 handleImageAdded(file, editor, cursorLocation, resetUploader) {
        let formdata = new FormData();
        formdata.append("image", file);
        console.log(formdata.get("image");

      }

This means that there is something fishy in laravel side.What should I do? Note: I am following the exact same steps as shown here
