Detailed Solution
The slope of the line joining the points 3,5,4,3 is m=3−54−3=−2Equation of line passing through the point 5,6 and perpendicular to the line having slope -2 is y−6=12x−52y−12=x−5x−2y+7=0Isolate the constant term and then divide with that constant on both sidesx−2y=−7x−7+y72=1Therefore, x− intercept is a=−7 and the y−intercept is b=72Hence, ab=−2
