Question

If the line passes through the points P 6 , - 1 , 2 , Q 8 , - 7 , 2 λ and R 5 , 2 , 4 , then value of λ is ________, - 3, 0, - 1, 2

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

Since, P 6 , - 1 , 2 and Q 8 , - 7 , 2 λ and R 5 , 2 , 4 a re collinear then, direction ratios of P R 1 , - 3 , - 2 and P Q - 2 , 6 , 2 - 2 λ are proportional, then 1 - 2 = - 2 2 - 2 λ ⇒ 1 - λ = 2 ⇒ λ = - 1
