Provide Solution For R.D.Sharma Maths Class 12 Chapter 27 Straight Line in Space Exercise 27.4 Question 6 Maths Textbook Solution.
Answer – The answer of the given question is
(Hint – By using two point formula).
Given – Point (2,4,-1) and equation of the line
Solution - Let PQ be the perpendicular drawn from P to given line whose endpoint/foot is Q point.
:: Co-ordinates of
Hence,
Direction of PQ is
And by comparing with given line equation, direction ratios of the given line are
( Hint – denominator terms of line equation).
= (1,4,9)
PQ is perpendicular at the given line. Therefore, By “ Conditions of Perpendicularity”.
; whereas a terms and b terms are direction ratio of lines which are perpendicular to each other.
:: Co-ordinates of Q.,
By putting the value of γ in Q co-ordinate equation, we get
Now,
So, equation of perpendicular PQ is
