Question

A line passes through (2, -1, 3) and is perpendicular to the lines r=(^i+^j+^k)+λ(2^i+2^j+^k) and r=(2^i^j3^k)+μ(^i+2^j+2^k). Obtain its equation in vector and Certesian form.

Solution

Given line are r=(^i+^j+^k)+λ(2^i+2^j+^k) and r=(2^i^j3^k)+μ(^i+2^j+2^k)

A line perpendicular to the given lines will be in the direction of

(2^i2^j+^k)×(^i+2^j+2^k)=∣ ∣ ∣^i^j^k221122∣ ∣ ∣=6^i3^j+6^k or,b=2^i+^j2^k

Position vector of given point (2, -1, 3) is. a=2^i^j+3^k

Using r=a+λ¯b,the required vector equaton of line is:r=2hati^j+3^k+λ(2^i+2^j2^k)

And, Cartesian form of the line is : x22=y+11=z32
