The perpendicular from the origin to a line L meets it at the point (3,  9), equation of the line L is

a
x-3y=30
b
3x-y=18
c
x+3y+24=0
d
3x+y=18

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Slope of the perpendicular line is -93=-3⇒  slope of L is 1/3 and as it passes through (3, -9)  equation of L is            y+9=(1/3)(x−3)⇒ x−3y=30
