Find the perpendicular distance from the origin of the perpendicular from the point (1,2) upon the straight line `x-3y+4=0.`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`x−3 ​y+4=0`
Perpendicular distance is =` ( ​ax+by+c​)/sqrt(a^2+b^2)`
Given point is `(1,2)`
Therefore perpendicular distance, `d=(1×1−sqrt(3) ​×2+4​)/sqrt(1^2+sqrt(3)^2)`
