Write the value of k for which the line
is perpendicular to the normal to the plane
.
Equation of the line in Cartesian form is given as,
![]()
So, the direction cosines of the line are given as, ![]()
The equation of the plane is,
so, we have the vector normal to the plane as,
![]()
It is required that, the line should be perpendicular to the normal to the plane
, so, we should have,
(2⨯2) + (3⨯3) + (k⨯4)=0
4 + 9 + 4k=0
13 + 4k=0
4k= - 13
![]()
Hence, for
the line
will be perpendicular to the normal to the plane
.
