Question

Find the coordinates of foot of the perpendicular drawn from the point (2,3) to the line x+y+1=0.

Answer 1

Final Answer : (-1,0)

Understanding :
1) Foot of perpendicular from given point is given by point of intersection of line perdicular to given line and passing through given point.


Steps:
1) Find equation of line perpendicular to given line and passing through (2,3) .
2) Find point of intersection of these two lines.
This point of intersection is Foot of Perpendicular.
