TopicVectors: Lines & Planes

  1. Relative to a fixed origin \(O\).
  • the point \(A\) has position vector \(2 \mathbf { i } - 3 \mathbf { j } + 5 \mathbf { k }\)
  • the point \(B\) has position vector \(8 \mathbf { i } + 3 \mathbf { j } - 7 \mathbf { k }\)
The line \(l\) passes through \(A\) and \(B\).
    1. Find \(\overrightarrow { A B }\)
    2. Find a vector equation for the line \(l\) The point \(C\) has position vector \(3 \mathbf { i } + 5 \mathbf { j } + 2 \mathbf { k }\)
      The point \(P\) lies on \(l\)
      Given that \(\overrightarrow { C P }\) is perpendicular to \(l\)
  1. find the position vector of the point \(P\)
