Find the equation of the perpendicular drawn from the point (1,-2,3) to the plane 2x - 3y + 4z +9 = 0. Also find the co-ordinates of the
foot of the perpendicular.
the direction ratios of the line perpendicular to the plane
equation of a line passing through the point (1,-2,3) and perpendicular to plane (1) is;
..........(2)
coordinates of any point on the line (2) is given by:
the foot of the perpendicular is the intersection point of the plane (1) and line (2):
therefore
thus the coordinates of the foot of perpendicular is
hope this helps you
