Equation of line in Straight lines
Question

The point where the perpendicular from the point 5,7meets the line 3x+4y+12=0 is h,k then the value of  h2k+2 is

Moderate
Solution

 If (h,k) is foot of the perpendicular of x1,y1 on the line ax+by+c=0 then 

hx1a=ky1b=ax1+by1+ca2+b2

Hence, 

h+53=k74=35+47+1232+42h+53=k74=2525h+53=k74=1

Therefore,

h+53=-1h+5=-3h=8        And      k74=1k7=4k=3

Hence,

h2k+2=823+2=88

 Therefore, h2k+2=1
