find the projection of line segment joining the points P(4,-2,5) and Q (2,1,-3) on the line with direction ratio 6,2 and 3. please make me understand with steps

OpenStudy (amistre64):

what is a direction ratio?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I dont know exactly, I can copy answer frm book , but I dnt really understadn DRs thats why I mstuck in this easy question please make me understand

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i dunno what a direction ration refers to so im not sure id be able to deduce it from an answer

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i know what a projection is, but thats only part of the problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok... Question says DRs are 6,2 and 3 now how to use this

OpenStudy (amistre64):

apparently it a useless way to say the direction vector is <6,2,3>

OpenStudy (amistre64):

is this just spose to be a direction vector from the origin? or do we attach it to the line segment now?
