Find the coordinates of the foot of the...

Find the coordinates of the foot of the perpendicular drawn from the origin to the plane `2x - 3y + 4z - 6 = 0`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The given plane is,
`2x-3y+4z-6=0`
or, `2x-3y+4z=6`
From the above, it can be deduced that its normal vector from the origin is,
`vecN=2hati-3hatj+4hatk`
So, `abs(vecN)=sqrt(2^2+(-3)^2+4^2)`
`=>abs(vecN)=sqrt(4+9+16)`
`=>abs(vecN)=sqrt(29)`
