From a point P, perpendiculars PL ...

From a point P, perpendiculars PL and PM are drawn upon X and Y axes respectively. If LM passes through a fixed point ` ( x _ 1, y _ 1 ) ` then the locus of P is

A

` ( x _ 1 ) /(x) - ( y _ 1 ) / (y ) = 1 `

B

` ( x _ 1 )/ ( x ) + ( y _ 1 ) / ( y) = 1 `

C

` ( x ) /( x _ 1 ) - ( y ) / ( y _ 1 ) = 1 `

D

` ( x )/ ( x _ 1 ) + ( y)/ ( y _1 ) = 1 `
