Find the equation of the perpendicular d...

Find the equation of the perpendicular drawn from the point P(-1,3,2) to the line `vec(r)=(2hat(i)+3hat(k))+t(2hat(i)+hat(j)+3hat(k))`. Also find the coordinates of the foot of the perpendicular from P.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`vec(r)=(-hat(i)+3hat(j)+2hat(k))+t(3hat(i)-9hat(j)+hat(k));(-(4)/(7),(12)/(7),(15)/(7))`
