Question

A line passes through (2,-1,3) and is perpendicular to the lines
r=(^i+^j^k)+λ(2^i2^j+^k) and
r=(2^i^j3^k)+μ(^i+2^j+2^k) . Obtain its equation in vector and cartesian form.

Solution

Given, lines are
x12=y12=z+11=λ......(i)

and x21=y+12=z+32=μ......(ii)

Suppose equation of line passes through (2,1,3) is x2a=y+1b=z3c......(iii)

If (iii) is to (i) and (ii)

2a2b+c=0and a+2b+2c=0

a42=b14=c4+2

a6=b3=c6a2=b1=c2

from (iii), required cartesian form of line is x22=y+11=z32

Its vector form is r=(2^i^j+3^k)+s(2^i+^j2^k)
