Prelims

The plane \({{\Pi }_{1}}\) and the line \(~l\) have equations

\({{\Pi }_{1}}:\mathbf{r}\cdot \left( \begin{matrix} 2 \\ 1 \\ -1 \\ \end{matrix} \right)=3\) and \(l:\frac{x+2}{3}=\frac{4-y}{2}=z-3\)

respectively.

  1. Find the acute angle between \({{\Pi }_{1}}\) and \(l\).[2]
  2. Find the coordinates of the point of intersection between \({{\Pi }_{1}}\) and \(l\).[3]
  3. Find the perpendicular distance from \(B\left( 10,\,-4,\,7 \right)\) to \({{\Pi }_{1}}\).[3]

The plane \({{\Pi }_{2}}\) contains \(l\) and is perpendicular to \({{\Pi }_{1}}\).

  1. Find a cartesian equation of \({{\Pi }_{2}}\).[3]
  2. Without using a calculator, find a vector equation of the line which lies in both \({{\Pi }_{1}}\) and \({{\Pi }_{2}}\).[2]
