Find coordinates of the foot of perpendicular and equation of perpendicular drawn from the point $$(2, 3)$$ to the line $$y=3x-4$$.

Solution

$$\\ The\quad given\quad equation\quad of\quad the\quad line\quad is\quad \\ y=3x-4\quad \quad \longrightarrow \left( 1 \right) \\ Slope\quad of\quad the\quad given\quad line\quad is\quad { m }_{ 1 }=3\\ suppose\quad the\quad equation\quad of\quad the\quad line\quad perpendicular\quad to\quad the\quad given\quad line\quad is\\ y={ m }_{ 2 }x+c\quad \quad \longrightarrow \left( 2 \right) \\ Since\quad both\quad the\quad lines\quad are\quad perpendicular\quad to\quad each\quad other\quad so\quad we\quad have;\\ { m }_{ 1 }{ m }_{ 2 }=-1\\ \Rightarrow 3{ m }_{ 2 }=-1\\ \Rightarrow { m }_{ 2 }=-\dfrac { 1 }{ 3 } \\ From\left( 2 \right) we\quad have,\quad y=-\dfrac { 1 }{ 3 } x+c\\ Since\quad the\quad line\quad passes\quad through\quad the\quad point\quad \left( 2,3 \right) ,we\quad have\\ 3=-\dfrac { 2 }{ 3 } +c\\ \Rightarrow c=\dfrac { 11 }{ 3 } \\ \therefore equation\quad of\quad the\quad perpendicular\quad to\quad the\quad given\quad line\quad is\\ y=-\dfrac { 1 }{ 3 } x+\dfrac { 11 }{ 3 } \\ \Rightarrow 3y=-x+11\quad \quad \longrightarrow \left( 3 \right) \\ Solving\quad equation\quad \left( 1 \right) and\left( 3 \right) \quad we\quad have\quad x=\dfrac { 23 }{ 11 } ,y=\dfrac { 25 }{ 11 } \\ Hence,the\quad foot\quad and\quad equation\quad of\quad the\quad perpendicular\quad is\quad \left( \dfrac { 23 }{ 11 } ,\dfrac { 25 }{ 11 } \right) and\quad 3y=-x+11\quad respectively.$$
