The square of the distance of the point P(5, 6, 7) from the line x-22= y-53= z-24 is equal to:

  1. 3
  2. 5
  3. 6
  4. 8

Answer

(3) 6

Solution

General point of the line: Q(2+2t, 5+3t, 2+4t)

PQ=(2t-3, 3t-1, 4t-5)

PQ line 2(2t-3)+3(3t-1)+4(4t-5)=0

29t-29=0 t=1, foot Q(4, 8, 6)

PQ2=(4-5)2+(8-6)2+(6-7)2=1+4+1=6

Answer: (3)
