Find the equation of a line perpendicular to the line
and at a distance of 3 units from the origin.
Given:
Line
and distance of 3 units from the origin.
To find:
The equation of a line perpendicular to the line
and at a distance of 3 units from the origin.
Explanation:
The line perpendicular to
is ![]()
It is given that the line
is at a distance of 3 units from the origin.
![]()
⇒ λ = ± 6
Substituting the value of λ,
We get
,
Hence, equation of the required line is ![]()
