  4. D (-4,-1)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) (-1,-4)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The equation of perpendicular line on \(x+3 y=7\) is \(3 x-y+\lambda=0\). Since, it is passes through \((3,8)\). \(\begin{aligned} & \therefore \quad 9-8+\lambda=0 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad \lambda=-1 \\ & \therefore \quad 3 x-y-1=0 \\ & \end{aligned}\) The point of intersection of…
