Given point P (2, - 1), what is the maximum distance between point P and the origin Why is the maximum distance OP?

Given point P (2, - 1), what is the maximum distance between point P and the origin Why is the maximum distance OP?

As shown in the picture,
If OP is not perpendicular to the line L, then the vertical line OC & lt; op,
If the vertical line segment is the largest (that is, the distance from O to the straight line is the farthest), then OP is perpendicular to the straight line L
k(OP)=-1/2=-1/2
The slope of L is 2
The equation of line L is y + 1 = 2 (X-2)
That is & nbsp; y = 2x-5
