If \(P M\) is the perpendicular from \(P(2,3)\) onto the line \(x+y=3\), then the coordinates of \(M\) are

  1. A (2, 1)
  2. B (−1,4)
  3. C (1, 2)
  4. D (4, −1)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) (1, 2)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the co-ordinates of \(M\) are \(\left(x_1, y_1\right)\). Since the line \(P M\) is \(\perp\) to the given line \(x+y=3\) \(\begin{aligned} & \therefore \quad \frac{y_1-3}{x_1-2} \times(-1)=1 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad y_1-3=x_1-2 \\ & \end{aligned}\)…
