Ex 11.2, 11 Show that the lines (๐ฅ โ 5)/7 = (๐ฆ + 2)/( โ5) = ๐ง/1 and ๐ฅ/1 = ๐ฆ/2 = ๐ง/3 are perpendicular to each other. Two lines (๐ฅ โ ๐ฅ1)/๐1 = (๐ฆ โ ๐ฆ1)/๐1 = (๐ง โ ๐ง1)/๐1 and (๐ฅ โ ๐ฅ2)/๐2 = (๐ฆ โ ๐ฆ2)/๐2 = (๐ง โ ๐ง2)/๐2 are perpendicular to each other if ๐๐ ๐๐ + ๐๐ ๐๐ + ๐๐ ๐๐ = 0 (๐ โ ๐)/๐ = (๐ + ๐)/( โ ๐) = ๐/๐ (๐ฅ โ 5)/7 = (๐ฆ โ (โ2))/( โ5) = (๐ง โ 0)/1 Comparing with (๐ฅ โ ๐ฅ1)/๐1 = (๐ฆ โ ๐ฆ1)/๐1 = (๐ง โ ๐ง1)/๐1, So, ๐ฅ1 = 5, y1 = โ2, ๐ง1 = 0 & ๐๐ = 7, ๐๐ = โ 5, ๐๐ = 1, ๐/๐ = ๐/๐ = ๐/๐ (๐ฅ โ 0)/1 = (๐ฆ โ 0)/2 = (๐ง โ 0)/3 Comparing with (๐ฅ โ ๐ฅ2)/๐2 = (๐ฆ โ ๐ฆ2)/๐2 = (๐ง โ ๐ง2)/๐2, So, x2 = 0, y2 = 0, z2 = 0, & ๐๐ = 1, b2 = 2, c2 = 3 So, ๐๐ ๐๐ + ๐๐ ๐๐ + ๐๐ ๐๐ = (7 ร 1) + (โ5 ร 2) + (1 ร 3) = 7 + (โ10) + 3 = 0 Therefore, the two given lines are perpendicular to each other.
