If the line joining the points A(2,3,-1) and B(3,5,-3) is perpendicular to the line joining C(1,2,3) and D(3, y, 7) , then y=
Options
- A1
- B3
- C5
- D7
Correct answer
C. 5
Step-by-step solution
aligned & Given, A=(2,3-1) & B=(3,5-3) & DR's of A B =(3-2,5-3,-3+1)=(1,2,-2) & and C=(1,2,3) & D=(3, y, 7) aligned DR ^ s of C D =(3-1, y-2,7-3)=(2, y-2,4) Given, A B C D aligned & a₁ a₂+b₁ b₂+c₁ c₂=0 & (1)(2)+2(y-2)+(-2)(4)=0 & 2 y-10=0 & y=5 aligned Hence, option (c) is correct.
