Marking-scheme solution
(a)
Line: $\displaystyle (15+3t,\,29+8t,\,5-5t)$, direction $\displaystyle (3,8,-5)$. The vector from $\displaystyle (5,7,3)$ to a general point is $\displaystyle (10+3t,\,22+8t,\,2-5t)$; setting its dot product with $\displaystyle (3,8,-5)$ to zero: $\displaystyle 196+98t=0\Rightarrow t=-2$. Foot of perpendicular $\displaystyle =(9,\,13,\,15)$.
