Question
A line L1 passes through the points A(0, 1, 8) and B(3, 5, 2).
Given that L1 and L2 are perpendicular, show that p=2.
Find →AB.
Hence, write down a vector equation for L1.
A second line L2, has equation r = (113−14)+s(p01).
Given that L1 and L2 are perpendicular, show that p=2.
The lines L1 and L1 intersect at C(9, 13, z). Find z.
Find a unit vector in the direction of L2.
Hence or otherwise, find one point on L2 which is √5 units from C.
