Prove that the product of the lengths of the perpendiculars drawn from the points and to the line

The equation of the given line is



bxcosƟ + aysinƟ ab = 0 ……………….(1)


Length of the perpendicular from point to line (1) is



--------------- (2)


Length of the perpendicular from point to line (2) is



--------------- (3)


On multiplying equations (2) and (3), we get,













Hence Proved.
