Question

Find the co-ordinates of the foot of the perpendicular drawn from the point (6, 3) to the line by

Answer 1

Answer:

(6.4, 2.2)

Step-by-step explanation:

(3-1)/(8-4) = 2/4 = 1/2 = m

y = mx + b

1 = 1/2(4) + b

-1 = b

y = 1/2x - 1

perpendicular slope is -2

y = mx + b

3 = -2(6) + b

15 = b

y = -2x + 15
