Question
A line passes through the point with position vector $2\hat{\text{i}} - 3\hat{\text{j}} + 4\hat{\text{k}}$ and is perpendicular to the plane $\vec{\text{r}}. (3\hat{\text{i}} + 4\hat{\text{j}} - 5\hat{\text{k}}) = 7.$ Find the equation of the line in cartesian and vector forms.

Answer

Vector form: $\vec{\text{r}} = (2\hat{\text{i}} - 3\hat{\text{j}} + 4\hat{\text{k}}) + \lambda (3\hat{\text{i}} + 4\hat{\text{j}} - 5\hat{\text{k}})$
Cartesian form: $\frac{\text{x - 2}}{3} = \frac{\text{y + 3}}{4} = \frac{\text{z - 4}}{-5}$
