Respuesta :

The line perpendicular to the line AB passes through the point [tex](0,2)[/tex] i.e., [tex]\fbox{\begin\\\\ \bf option 3\\\end{minispace}}[/tex].

Further explanation:

From the given figure in the question it is observed that the line AB passes through the points [tex](-2,4)[/tex] and [tex](2,-8)[/tex].

The coordinate for the point C is [tex](6,4)[/tex].

Step1: Obtain the slope of the line AB.

The slope of a line which passes through the points [tex](x_{1},y_{1})[/tex] and [tex](x_{2},y_{2})[/tex] is calculated as follows:

[tex]\fbox{\begin\\\ \math m=\dfrac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\\\end{minispace}}[/tex]  (1)

It is given that the line AB passes through the points [tex](-2,4)[/tex] and [tex](2,-8)[/tex].

To obtain the slope for the line AB substitute [tex]-2[/tex] for [tex]x_{1}[/tex], [tex]2[/tex] for [tex]x_{2}[/tex], [tex]4[/tex] for [tex]y_{1}[/tex] and [tex]-8[/tex] for [tex]y_{2}[/tex] in equation (1).

[tex]\begin{aligned}m&=\frac{-8-4}{2+2}\\&=\frac{-12}{4}\\&=-3\end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore, the slope of the line AB is [tex]-3[/tex].  

Consider the slope of AB as, [tex]m_{1}[/tex] so, [tex]m_{1}=-3[/tex].

Step2: Obtain the slope of the perpendicular line.  

The slope of line AB is [tex]m_{1}=-3[/tex].

Consider a line which is perpendicular to the line AB passing through the point C. Assume the slope of the perpendicular line as [tex]m_{2}[/tex].

The product of slope of two mutually perpendicular lines is always equal to [tex]-1[/tex].

The equation formed for the slope is as follows:  

[tex]\fbox{\begin\\\ \math m_{1}\times m_{2}=-1\\\end{minispace}}[/tex]

Substitute the value of [tex]m_{1}[/tex] in the above equation.

[tex]\begin{aligned}-3\times m_{2}&=-1\\m_{2}&=\frac{1}{3}\end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore, the slope of the perpendicular line is [tex]m_{2}=\frac{1}{3}[/tex].

Step3: Obtain the equation of the perpendicular line.

The slope for perpendicular line is [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] and the line passes through the point C. The coordinate for the point C are [tex](6,4)[/tex].

The point slope form of a line is as follows:

[tex]\fbox{\begin\\\ \math (y-y_{1})=m(x-x_{1})\\\end{minispace}}[/tex]

Substitute [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] for [tex]m[/tex], [tex]6[/tex] for [tex]x_{1}[/tex] and [tex]4[/tex] for [tex]y_{1}[/tex] in the above equation.

[tex]\begin{aligned}(y-4)&=\frac{1}{3}(x-6)\\3y-12&=x-6\\3y-x&=6\end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore, the equation of the perpendicular line is [tex]3y-x=6[/tex].

Option 1:

In option 1 it is given that the line perpendicular to AB passes through the point [tex](-6,0)[/tex].  

The equation of the line which is perpendicular to AB is [tex]3y-x=6[/tex].

Substitute [tex]-6[/tex] for [tex]x[/tex] in the above equation.

[tex]\begin{aligned}3y-(-6)&=6\\3y+12&=6\\3y&=-6\\y&=-2\end{aligned}[/tex]

From the above calculation it is concluded that the line passes through the point [tex](-6,-2)[/tex].

This implies that option 1 is incorrect.

Option 2:

In option 2 it is given that the line perpendicular to AB passes through the point [tex](0,-6)[/tex].

The equation of the line which is perpendicular to AB is [tex]3y-x=6[/tex].

Substitute [tex]0[/tex] for [tex]x[/tex] in the above equation.

[tex]\begin{aligned}3y-(0)&=6\\3y&=6\\y&=2\end{aligned}[/tex]

From the above calculation it is concluded that the line passes through the point [tex](0,2)[/tex].

This implies that option 2 is incorrect.

Option 3:

In option 3 it is given that the line perpendicular to AB passes through the point [tex](0,2)[/tex].

The equation of the line which is perpendicular to AB is [tex]3y-x=6[/tex].

Substitute [tex]0[/tex] for [tex]x[/tex] in the above equation.

[tex]\begin{aligned}3y-(0)&=6\\3y&=6\\y&=2\end{aligned}[/tex]

From the above calculation it is concluded that the line passes through the point [tex](0,2)[/tex].

This implies that option 3 is correct.

Option 4:

In option 4 it is given that the line perpendicular to AB passes through the point [tex](2,0)[/tex].

The equation of the line which is perpendicular to AB is [tex]3y-x=6[/tex].

Substitute [tex]2[/tex] for [tex]x[/tex] in the above equation.

[tex]\begin{aligned}3y-(2)&=6\\3y&=8\\y&=\frac{8}{3}\end{aligned}[/tex]

From the above calculation it is concluded that the line passes through the point [tex](2,\frac{8}{3})[/tex].

This implies that option 4 is incorrect.

Therefore, the line perpendicular to the line AB passes through the point [tex](0,2)[/tex] i.e., [tex]\fbox{\begin\\\ \bf option 3\\\end{minispace}}[/tex].
