I couldn't even interprete it Click to expand... Step 1: Find the equation of the line perpendicular to the line 3x-3y-4=0 and which passes through the point (1, 1). Step 2: Find where the perpendicular line (found in step 1) intersects the line 3x-3y-4=0. Call this point A. Step 3/4: Repeat Steps1/2 for the line 3x+y-6=0. Call this intersection point B. Step 5: Find the equation of the straight line joining the points A and B. (Note: The foot of a perpendicular from a point to a line is the point where the perpendicular line and the original line intersect.)
