Question

The line \(l\) has the equation \[\mathbf{r}= \begin{pmatrix}5\\ 0\\ 5\end{pmatrix}+ \lambda \begin{pmatrix}2\\ 1\\ 0\end{pmatrix}, \hspace{1cm} \lambda \in \mathbb{R}.\]

  1. Show that \(l\) lies in the plane whose equation is \[\mathbf{r}.\begin{pmatrix}-1\\ 2\\ 0\end{pmatrix}=-5.\]
  2. Find the position vector of \(L\), the foot of the perpendicular from the origin \(O\) to \(l\).
  3. Find an equation of the plane containing \(O\) and \(l\).
  4. Find the position vector of the point \(P\) where \(l\) meets the plane \(\pi\) whose equation is \[\mathbf{r}.\begin{pmatrix}1\\ 2\\ 2\end{pmatrix} = 11.\]
