Let the point_1 = p₁ = (1,4)
and      point_2 = p₂ = (-2,1)
and      Point_3 = p₃ = (x,y)

The line from point_1 to point_2 is L₁ and has slope = m₁
The line from point_1 to point_3 is L₂ and has slope = m₂
m₁ = Δy/Δx = (1-4)/(-2-1) = 1
m₂ = Δy/Δx = (y-4)/(x-1)
L₁⊥L₂ ⇒⇒⇒⇒ m₁ * m₂ = -1
∴ (y-4)/(x-1) = -1 ⇒⇒⇒ (y-4)= -(x-1)
(y-4) = (1-x) ⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒ equation (1)

The distance from point_1 to point_2 is d₁
The distance from point_1 to point_3 is d₂
d = \sqrt{Δx^2+Δy^2}
d₁ = \sqrt{(-2-1)^2+(1-4)^2}
d₂ = \sqrt{(x-1)^2+(y-4)^2}
d₁ = d₂
∴ \sqrt{(-2-1)^2+(1-4)^2} = \sqrt{(x-1)^2+(y-4)^2} ⇒⇒ eliminating the root
∴(-2-1)²+(1-4)² = (x-1)²+(y-4)²
 (x-1)²+(y-4)² = 18
from equatoin (1)  y-4 = 1-x
∴(x-1)²+(1-x)² = 18            ⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒ note: (1-x)² = (x-1)²
2 (x-1)² = 18
(x-1)² = 9
x-1 = \pm \sqrt{9} = \pm 3
∴ x = 4 or x = -2
∴ y = 1 or y = 7

Point_3 = (4,1)  or  (-2,7)
