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
= =
⇒ = =
= =
