Find the length of the perpendicular from the point (a,b) to the line `(x)/(a)+(y)/(b)=1` |
Answer» The given point is P(a,b) and the given line is `bx+ay-ab=0` Let d be the length of the perpendicular from P(a,b) to the line bx+ay-ab=0 `"Then",d=(|bxxa+axxb-ab|)/(sqrt(b^(2)+a^(2)))=(|ab|)/(sqrt(a^(2)+b^(2)))"units"` |
