Question
The distance of the point
from the line parallel to vector
and passing through the point
is
- 2 units
- 3 units
- 4 units
- 5 units
Hint:
We are given the position vector of a point. We are given a parallel vector to a line and the point through which the lines is passing. We have to find the distance between the point and the line.
The correct answer is: 3 units
We have to find the distance between a point and a line.
The equation of any line is given as follows:



We will find the distance between the line and point.


Now, we will find the cross product.

We will resubstitute all the values.

So, the distance between the line and the point is 3 units.
For such questions, we should know different formulas of distances for line or plane.
