let P(x,y) be a point and let me a line if l(h,k) is the foot of perpendicular drawn from be on this line and q(Alpha, beta) is image of P in the given line then prove that (h-x)/a=(k-y)/b=-(ax+by+c)/(a^2+b^2)

Let P(h, k) be the given point, let Q(x, y) be the foot of the perpendicular, and let O be the origin. The line can have any direction. ย 
โˆ PQO = 90ยฐ ย 
Point Q lies on the circle having diameter OP. ย 
The locus of point Q: ย 
(x - 0)(x - h) + (y - 0)(y - k) = 0 ย 
xยฒ + yยฒ - hx - ky = 0
