TopicVectors: Lines & Planes

10 The straight line \(l\) has equation \(\mathbf { r } = \mathbf { i } + 6 \mathbf { j } - 3 \mathbf { k } + s ( \mathbf { i } - 2 \mathbf { j } + 2 \mathbf { k } )\). The plane \(p\) has equation \(( \mathbf { r } - 3 \mathbf { i } ) \cdot ( 2 \mathbf { i } - 3 \mathbf { j } + 6 \mathbf { k } ) = 0\). The line \(l\) intersects the plane \(p\) at the point \(A\).
  1. Find the position vector of \(A\).
  2. Find the acute angle between \(l\) and \(p\).
  3. Find a vector equation for the line which lies in \(p\), passes through \(A\) and is perpendicular to \(l\).
