a) Point A(6,7,2) lies on l1. Point B(9,16,5) also lies on l1. Find the distance between these two points. b) l2 lies in the same z plane as l1 and crosses l1 at A and is perpendicular to l1. Express l2 in vector form.

a) Distance between two points ((x2- x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2)^1/2Substitute in values to find distance.b) Write out l1 in vector form using info from points A and B.Use knowledge of scalar product to construct l2's direction vector.Construct l2.
