Question 69

MediumOriginal question

What is the angle between the lines x−11=y+12=z2\frac{x - 1}{1} = \frac{y + 1}{2} = \frac{z}{2} and x+22=y−3−2=z−11\frac{x + 2}{2} = \frac{y - 3}{-2} = \frac{z - 1}{1}?

CorrectNot quiteAnswer D

Correct answer: D

Explanation

  1. Direction ratios 1,2,21, 2, 2 and 2,−2,12, -2, 1: 1(2)+2(−2)+2(1)=01(2) + 2(-2) + 2(1) = 0.

  2. cos⁡θ=0\cos \theta = 0, so the lines are perpendicular: π2\frac{\pi}{2}.

Worth noting

0 would need the direction ratios in proportion; their dot product is 0, the opposite case.
