Class 12 Maths · Three Dimensional Geometry · Long Answer #84

Show that r=(0,-1,-1)+t(4,6,2), t∈ℝ and r=(3,9,4)+t(-7,-5,0), t∈ℝ intersect and find their intersection.

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: (10,14,4)
  1. Set A+td=B+ue and equate the three coordinates.
  2. Use A=(0,-1,-1),d=(4,6,2),B=(3,9,4),e=(-7,-5,0).
  3. Solving gives t=5/2, u=-1; both substitutions give (10,14,4).
  4. All three coordinate equations agree, so the lines intersect at (10,14,4).

📋 CBSE Stepwise Marking Scheme

  • [0.5 marks] Set A+td=B+ue and equate the three coordinates.
  • [1 mark] Use A=(0,-1,-1),d=(4,6,2),B=(3,9,4),e=(-7,-5,0).
  • [1 mark] Solving gives t=5/2, u=-1; both substitutions give (10,14,4).
  • [0.5 marks] All three coordinate equations agree, so the lines intersect at (10,14,4).
