Find the equation of the line passing through the point (-1,3,-2) and perpendicular to the lines = = and = =
Solution:
We know that, equation of a line passing through with direction ratios a, b, c = = So, the required equation of a line passing through ( 1,3, 2) is: = = ... (1) Given that line = = is perpendicular to line (1),so = 0 a + 2b + 3c = 0 ... (2) And line = = is perpendicular to line 1 , so = 0 - 3a + 2b + 5c = 0 ... (3) Solving equation 2 and 3 by cross multiplication = = ⇒ = = ⇒ = = ⇒ = = = λ (say) ⇒ a = 2λ , b = - 7 λ , c = 4λ Putting the value of a,b, and c in (1) gives = = ⇒ = =
