Hi there, I'm just doing some revision by going over some mock exam questions and I'm having trouble understanding what some of these values represent in the question.
So the task is the compute the distance between a line and a point in 3D.
The point is < 1, 3, 2 >, I understand this.
The line is:
2x + y + 3z = 3
x + 2y + z = 4
My understanding of this that these are 2 vectors of the 2 points that form the line, < 2, 1, 3 > and < 1, 2, 1>
I was wondering what = 3 and = 4 represent?
Thanks and I really hope I explained this well. God bless <3
