Question

The coordinates of the foot of perpendicular drawn from the point (2,5,7) on the x axis are given by

Answer 1

The coordinates of the foot of perpendicular drawn from the point (2,5,7) on the x axis are given by (2,0,0)

The foot of the perpendicular dropped from the point (2,5,7) would be (2,0,0) or (0,5,0) or (0,0,7) depending on the axis on which the perpendicular is being dropped.

If the perpendicular is being dropped on x-axis, then the y axis and z axis coordinates would be zero, and the x axis would be equal to the x-coordinate of the point.

As, the x-coordinate of the point is 2, so the coordinate of the foot of the point would be (2,0,0).
