Find the perpendicular distance from the origin of the perpendicular from the point (1, 2) upon the straight line
.
Answer :
Given:
Line
To find:
The perpendicular distance from the origin of the perpendicular from the point (1, 2) upon the straight line .
Concept Used:
Distance of a point from a line.
Explanation:
The equation of the line perpendicular to is
This line passes through (1, 2).
∴ + 2 + λ = 0
⇒ λ
Substituting the value of λ, we get
Let d be the perpendicular distance from the origin to the line
d
Hence, the required perpendicular distance is
