Consider an electron m moving along the line L: (x-3)/2=(y+1)/(-2)=z-1. At L As shown in figure. (A) Write the equation of the electron's path in the form r = r, + At. (B) Find the distance of closest approach of the electron to the origin (that is, the distance from the origin to the line). (C) Ift represents time, show that the time of closest approach is t= -(r. A)|A².
