Answer - The answer of the question is Q\left ( 1,1,-1 \right )

(Hint – By comparing with line equation).

Given – Point (1,2,-3)  and equation of the line \frac{x+1}{2}=\frac{y-3}{-2}=\frac{z}{-1}

Solution - Let PQ be the perpendicular drawn from P to given line whose endpoint/foot is Q point.

Thus to find Distance PQ we have to first find co-ordinates of Q.

\begin{aligned} &\text { * } \frac{x+1}{2}=\frac{y-3}{-2}=\frac{z}{-1}=\gamma(\text { let }) \\ &\text { * }\mathrm{x}=2 \gamma-1, y=-2 \gamma+3, z=-\gamma \\ &:: \text { Co-ordinates of } \mathrm{Q}(2 \gamma-1,-2 \gamma+3,-\gamma) \end{aligned}

Hence,

Direction ratio of PQ is

\begin{aligned} &=(2 \gamma-1-1),(-2 \gamma+3-2),(-\gamma+3) \\\\ &=(2 \gamma-2),(-2 \gamma+1),(-\gamma+3) \end{aligned}

And by comparing with given line equation, direction ratios of the given line are

( Hint – denominator terms of line equation).

= (2,-2,-1)

:: PQ  is perpendicular at the given line. Therefore, By “ Conditions of Perpendicularity”.

                                                               a_{1}a_{2}+b_{1}b_{2}+c_{1}c_{2}=0

; whereas a terms and b terms are direction ratio of lines which are perpendicular to each other.

\begin{aligned} &=2(2 \gamma-2)+(-2)(-2 \gamma+1)-1(-\gamma+3)=0 \\ &=4 \gamma-4+4 \gamma-2+\gamma-3=0 \\ &=9 \gamma-9=0 \\ &=\gamma=1 \\ \end{aligned}

:: Co-ordinates of Q ,

By putting the value of \gamma in Q

 

\begin{aligned} &=Q\{2(1)-1,-2(1)+3,-1\} \\\\ &=Q\{1,1,-1\} \end{aligned}
