Homework Statement
Find the line that passes through point M(-5,2,-1) and cuts the line:
(x-1)/3 = y/5 = (z+2)/-2 at right angle (two lines are perpendicular)
Homework Equations
r = a + [tex]\lambda[/tex]b
The Attempt at a Solution
i used the scalar product a*b = |a| *|b| * cos(a,b) , but i don't seem to have enough knowns to solve the problem, or should i try something else
Also, if someone would like to give me a hint on understanding and approaching these problems
(i.e. lines and planes meeting each other... ) in most universal sense. I try to picture things but problem appears when something has to be written down. Can't see analogy of any kind.
Help please
