Detailed Solution
The equation of the line passing through the pointsA12,21,10 andB9,13,15 is x−123=y−218=z−10−5 General point on the line isQ3k+12,8k+21,−5k+10Suppose that Qbe the foot of the perpendicular to the P5,7,3point on the above linePQ¯Hence, the line is perpendicular to the above lineIt implies that 3k+7⋅3+8k+14⋅8+−5k+7⋅−5=09k+21+64k+112+25k−35=098k+98=0k=−1Therefore, the foot of the perpendicular is Q9,13,15
