Let Q(3,−2,7) be a point and let L be the line whose
equation in vector form is ⟨x,y,z⟩=⟨−2,5,−3⟩+t⟨1,2,−2⟩.
a) Find the equation of the plane P1 that contains Q and L.
b) Find the equation of the plane P2 that contains Q and is
orthogonal to L.
c) Find the equation of a line through Q that is orthogonal to P2.
d) Find the distance from Q to L.
e) Find the equation of a line through Q that intersects L.
There are many possible answers (depending on where it hits L).
f) Find the equation of a line through Q that does NOT intersect L.
How do you know that the two lines don't intersect?
