The coordinates of the foot of the perpendicular from the point (2,3)(2,3) on the line x+y−11=0x+y-11=0 areThe coordinates of the foot of the perpendicular from the point (2,3) on the line x+y-11=0 areThe coordinates of the foot of the perpendicular from the point (2,3) on the line x+y-11=0 are

Options

  1. A
    (-6,5)
  2. B
    (5,6)
  3. C
    (-5,6)
  4. D
    (6,5)

Correct answer

B.
(5,6)

Step-by-step solution

Let (h,k)(h, k) be the coordinates of the foot of the perpendicular from the point (2,3)(2,3) on the ix+y−11=0\mathrm{i}x+y-11=0. Then, the slope of the perpendicular line is k−3h−2\frac{k-3}{h-2}. Again the slope of the given line x+y−11=0x+y-11=0 is -1
Using the condition of perpendicularity of lines, we have
The coordinates of the foot of the perpendicular from the point (2,3) on the line x+y-11=0 are

Since (h,k)(h, k) lies on the given line, we have,The coordinates of the foot of the perpendicular from the point (2,3) on the line x+y-11=0 are

Solving (i) and (ii), we get h=5h=5 and k=6k=6. Thus (5,6)(5,6) are the required coordinates of the foot of the perpendicular.
