Question

A line passes through the point A 2,3 , 5 and is parallel to the vector 2 i ^ - j ^ + k ^ . If P is a point on this line such that A P = 2 6 , then the coordinates of point P can be, 4,2 , 6, 6,1 , 7, – 2,5 , – 3, 2,3 , 5

Equation of the line through A 2,3 , 5 and parallel to 2 i ^ - j ^ + k ^ is x - 2 2 = y - 3 - 1 = z - 5 1 Coordinates of point P on this line are 2 λ + 2 , - λ + 3 , λ + 5 A P = 4 λ 2 + λ 2 + λ 2 = 2 6 ⇒ 6 λ 2 = 24 ⇒ λ = ± 2 Coordinates of point P can be 6,1 , 7 or – 2,5 , 3
