50. Find the coordinates of the foot of perpendicular from the point (–1, 3) to theline 3x – 4y – 16 = 0.

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
And slope of line segment joining P(-1, 3) and Q(x, y,) is
As they are perpendicular we can write as,
(y1-3)3 = - 4(x1 +1)
3y1- 9 = - 4x1- 4.
4x1 + 3y1-9 + 4 = 0
4x1 + 3y1
