Question 1302e

Vectors II: Lines and Planes

Foot of Perpendicular and Reflection in Lines

Question

The line

{l}

is given by

l: \mathbf{r} = \begin{pmatrix} 4 \\ 1 \\ 2 \end{pmatrix} + \lambda \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 1 \\ - 2 \end{pmatrix}, \; \lambda \in \mathbb{R}.

Find the coordinates of the foot of perpendicular,

{F,}

from the point

{B \left( 5, 4, - 2 \right)}

to the line
