The perpendicular from the origin to th...

The perpendicular from the origin to the line `y = m x + c`meets it at the point `(1, 2)`. Find the values of m and c.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The given equation of the line is `y = mx + c.`
From the given condition, the perpendicular from the origin meets the given line at `(-1, 2).`
Hence, the line joining the points `(0, 0)` and `(-1, 2)` is perpendicular to the given line.
The slope of the line joining `(0, 0)` and `(-1, 2)` is
