Problem B. A pipeline engineer needs to find the line that will allow a new pipeline to intersect and join
an existing pipeline at a right angle. The existing line has a pathway determined by the equation
L2: r = (1,1,1,) + d(0,2,3), d is in the real numbers. The new pipeline will also need to be exactly
2 units away from the point (4,0,2).
- Determine the vector and parametric equations of L3, the line that passes through (4,0,2) and is perpendicular to L2.
- Determine the vector and parametric equations of L1, the line that is parallel to L3 and 2 units away from (4,0,2). There will be exactly two lines that fulfill this condition.
- Plot each line of the coordinate axes.
