To solve the problem step by step, we will follow these instructions: ### Step 1: Identify the Points We have two points A(2, -1) and B(6, 5), and we need to find the foot of the perpendicular from point P(4, 1) to line AB. ### Step 2: Use the Section Formula Let the foot of the perpendicular from P to AB be M. We assume that M divides AB in the ratio λ:1. According to the section formula, the coordinates of point M can be expressed as: \[ ...
