The square of the distance of the point (-2, -8, 6) from the line x-11= y-12= z-1 along the line x+51= y+5-1= z2 is equal to:

  1. 3
  2. 6
  3. 8
  4. 12

Answer

(2) 6

Solution

Distance 'along' a line is measured in the direction (1, -1, 2) of that line.

A point on the line through (-2, -8, 6) in this direction: (-2+t, -8-t, 6+2t)

It lies on x-11= y-12= z-1:

-3+t= -9-t2 3t=-3 t=-1

Check with the third ratio: 6+2t-1=-4=-3+t; meeting point (-3, -7, 4)

Distance2=(12+12+22)t2=6

Answer: (2)
