Line ond Plone

Ex. (1) Find the coordinotes of the foot of the perpendiculor drqwn from
e(t,z,t) to the line joining P(r,4,6) ond Q(s,t,+).
Solution : Let M be the foot of the perpendiculor drown from Ato
line PQ.

Let k: I be the rotio in which M divides PQ.

 As the ongle between line ond the plone is 0, the ongle between

Solution : Let tl : I be the rotio in which Xy plone divides the line
joining A(r,28,t) qnd 8(_4,31,_2).
Let (h, k.,o) be the point in which XY plone cuts the line AB.
