how can i find the cordinates of foot of the perpendicular in co-ordinate geometry?IS IT PLANE C.G...OR 3D C.G?..LET ME TELL YOU FIRST FOR PLANE C.G.IF YOU NEED FOR 3D PLEASE COME BACK AND I SHALL EXPLAIN
\n" ); document.write( "LET US DO GENERAL AND SPECIFIC CASE WITH AN EXAMPLE.
\n" ); document.write( "LET US FIND THE FOOT OF THE PERPENDICULAR Q- SAY (H,K) FROM A POINT P (1,2)-SAY IN GENERAL (X1,Y1) ON TO A LINE L GIVEN BY EQN.X+Y=1..SAY IN GENERAL
\n" ); document.write( "AX+BY+C=0
\n" ); document.write( "SINCE Q IS THE FOOT OF PERPENDICULAR FROM P TO LINE L, IT LIES ON LINE L.HENCE
\n" ); document.write( "AH+BK+C=0.......................OR.........H+K=1 ....................I
\n" ); document.write( "PQ IS PERPENDICULAR TO L...SO PRODUCT OF SLOPE OF PQ AND SLOPE OF LINE L =-1
\n" ); document.write( "SLOPE OF PQ =(K-2)/(H-1)............OR..............(K-Y1)/(H-X1)
\n" ); document.write( "SLOPE OF LINE L =-1/1=-1..................OR...............-A/B
