  1. A \((1,-2)\)
  2. B \((-3,4)\)
  3. C \((-1,1)\)
  4. D \((-5,7)\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \((-1,1)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{array}{rlrl} & \text { For } B, \frac{x-1}{2} & =\frac{y+2}{-3}=\frac{-2(13)}{13} \\ & \Rightarrow & x & =-3, y=4 \\ & \therefore & B & \equiv(-3,4) \end{array}\) Equation of \(A B\) is \(y+2=\frac{4-(-2)}{-3-1}(x-1)\) \(\Rightarrow \quad 2 y+3 x=-1\) Hence, foot of…
