50.  Let P(-1, 3) be the given point and Q(x, y,) be the Co-ordinate of the foot of perpendicular

So, slope of line 3x - 4y - 16 = 0 is

m1=34=34

And slope of line segment joining P(-1, 3) and Q(x, y,) is

m2=y13x1(1)=y13x1+1

As they are perpendicular we can write as,

m1=1m2

34=1(y13/x+1)

34=(x1+1)(y13)

(y1-3)3 = - 4(x1 +1)

3y1- 9 = - 4x1- 4.

4x1 + 3y1-9 + 4 = 0

4x1 + 3y1

(y – 2) = m (x – 8)

⇒   x-intercept
