Correct Answer: $x–3y=–5$
Solution : Given: Co-ordinates of $P, Q, R$ are (1, 2), (2, –1), and (0, 5). Slope of the line $QR=\frac{y_2–y_1}{x_2–x_1}$ ⇒ $\frac{5–(–1)}{0–2}=\frac{6}{–2}=–3$ $PS$ is $\perp $ to $QR$. Let the slope of line $PS=m$ ⇒ $m×–3=–1$ ⇒ $m=\frac{1}{3}$ The equation of the line with slope $m$ and passing through $(x_1, y_1)$ is: ⇒ $y–y_1=m(x–x_1)$ ⇒ $y–2=\frac{1}{3}(x–1)$ ⇒ $–6+1=x–3y$ ⇒ $x–3y=–5$ Hence, the correct answer is $x–3y=–5$.
