70 P is a point on a straight line with position vector r = a + tb. Show that 7=a+2a-bt+ B² By completing the square, show that is a minimum for the point P for which t-a-b/B. Show that at this point OP is perpendicular to the line r= a + tb. (This proves the well-known result that the shortest distance from a point to a line is the length of the perpendicular from that point to the line.)
