Explanation:
Equation of the perpendicular from the point.
p(1, -2) on the line 4x - 3y - 5 = 0.
As we know that,
Slopes of the perpendicular line = m = b/a.
Slopes of the line : 4x - 3y - 5 = 0.
☞m = -3/4
As we know that,
Formula of the Equation of the line.
☞ (y - y1) = m(x - x1).
Using this formula in the equation, we get.
☞ ( y - (-2)) = (-3/4)(x - 1).
☞ (y + 2) = (-3/4)(x - 1).
☞ 4(y + 2) = - 3(x - 1).
☞ 4y + 8 = 3x + 3.
☞ 4y + 3x + 8 - 3 = 0.
☞ 3x + 4y + 5 = 0
To find :
Co-ordinates of the foot of the perpendicular.
☞ 4x - 3y - 5 = 0. - - - - - (1).
☞ 3x + 4y + 5 = 0. - - - - - (2).
From equation (1) and (2), we get.
Multiply equation (1) by 4.
Multiply equation (2) by 3.
☞4x - 3y - 5 = 0. - - - - - (1). × 4.
☞3x + 4y + 5 = 0. - - - - - (2). × 3.
☞16x - 12y - 20 = 0. - - - - - (3).
☞9x + 12y + 15 = 0. - - - - - (4).
According equation (3) and (4), we get.
☞25x - 5 = 0.
☞25x = 5.
☞5x = 1.
☞x = 1/5.
Put the value of x = 1/5 in equation (2), we get.
☞3x + 4y + 5 = 0.
☞3(1/5) + 4y + 5 = 0.
☞(3/5) + 4y + 5 = 0.
☞(3 + 20y + 25)/5 = 0
☞3 + 20y + 25 = 0.
☞20y + 28 = 0.
☞20y = - 28.
☞5y = - 7.
☞y = - 7/5.
- Their co-ordinates = (1/5, - 7/5)
