Answer:
2/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the length of the perpendicular from the origin to the line 4x + 3y - 2 = 0.
Slope of line 4x + 3y - 2 = 0
3y = -4x + 2
=> y = -4x/3 + 2/3
Slope of line = -4/3
Slope of line perpendicular to 4x + 3y - 2 = 0 = m
m(-4/3) = -1
=> m = 3/4
y = 3x/4 + c
it passes through origin
=> 0 = 0 + c
=> c =0
y = 3x/4
=> 4y = 3x
=> 3x -4y = 0
Intersection point of Lines 4x + 3y - 2 = 0 & 3x -4y = 0
4Eq1 + 3eq 2
= 25x - 8 = 0
=> x = 8/25
3(8/25) = 4y
=> y = 6/25
Distance from origin ( Length of perpendicular)
√((8/25)² + (6/25)²)
= 10/25
= 2/5
