i. Find the coordinates of the foot of the perpendicular drawn from the point A with coordinates
(-1,8,4) to the line joining the points B and C with coordinates (0,-1,3 ) and (2,-3,-1)
respectively. Hence find the length of the perpendicular and the Cartesian equation of the
perpendicular (5 points)
ii. l
Find the vector equation of the line 3 passing through the point (2,1,3) and perpendicular to
the lines
x−1 y−2 z−3 x y z
l1 : = = ∧l 2 : = = . Hence find the point of intersection of this line
2 2 3 −3 2 5
and the point of intersection of l 3 and l 1 (7 points)
