The length of the perpendicular drawn from the origin $(0, 0)$ to the line joining the points $(x', y')$ and $(x'', y'')$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{x'y'' + y'x''}{\sqrt{(x'' - x')^2 + (y'' - y')^2}}$
  • B
    $\frac{|x'y'' - y'x''|}{\sqrt{(x'' - x')^2 + (y'' - y')^2}}$
  • C
    $\frac{x'x'' + y'y''}{\sqrt{(x'' + x')^2 + (y'' + y')^2}}$
  • D
