I assume there are some plus signs that aren't rendering for some reason, so that the plane should be 
.
You're minimizing
subject to the constraint 
. Note that 
and 
attain their extrema at the same values of 
, so we'll be working with the squared distance to avoid working out some slightly more complicated partial derivatives later.
The Lagrangian is
Take your partial derivatives and set them equal to 0:
Adding the first three equations together yields
and plugging this into the first three equations, you find a critical point at
.
The squared distance is then
, which means the shortest distance must be 
.

Answer:
The graph in the attached figure
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form or
In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m or unit rate of the line and the line passes through the origin
so
In this problem we have
substitute
using a graphing tool
