Step-by-step explanation:
You can either solve this using vectors as ankit has done. Or use basic coordinate geometry as follows:
Say O (0,0), P(a,b), Q(c,d) are the given points. The information given in the question implies that angle POQ is a right angle.
Conversely lines OP and OQ are perpendicular to each other. Therefore product of their slopes is -1.
We know that slope of a line joining two points (x1,y1) & (x2,y2) is
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
Hence slope of OP = (b-0)/(a-0) = b/a
Similarly slope of OQ =(d-0)/(c-0)=d/c
This (b/a)×(d/c)=-1
That is bd = -ac
That is ac+bd=0
