Math Problem Statement
Find the line that intersects the line ⟨1 + t, 2 − 3t, 2t⟩ perpendicularly and lies in the plane x + y − 3z = −1
Solution
We are tasked with finding a line that intersects the line given by the parametric equation:
perpendicularly and lies in the plane .
Steps:
1. Line's Direction Vector
The parametric line can be expressed as:
This line has a direction vector given by the coefficients of in each equation:
2. Perpendicular Condition
The line we are looking for must intersect this line perpendicularly. Let the direction vector of the line we are looking for be . Since the two lines are perpendicular, their direction vectors must satisfy the dot product condition:
This gives:
1a + (-3)b + 2c = 0 \quad \text{or} \quad a - 3b + 2c = 0 \tag{1}
3. Plane Condition
The line we are looking for must also lie in the plane . Any point on this line must satisfy the plane equation. Suppose the line passes through the point , then:
x_0 + y_0 - 3z_0 = -1 \tag{2}
4. Intersection with the Given Line
At the point of intersection, the coordinates of the line must equal the coordinates of the line we are looking for, say .
Thus, at the intersection point, we set:
Now, let's solve the system of equations involving conditions (1) and (2) and the fact that the two lines intersect.
