The co-ordinates of the point at which the line $\frac{x−3}{3} =\frac{y+1}{2} =\frac{z−4}{-2}$ crosses xy plane, are |
(6, 1, 0) (−3, −5, 0) (9, 3, 0) (0, −3, 0) |
(9, 3, 0) |
The correct answer is Option (3) → (9, 3, 0) Given: Line in symmetric form: $\frac{x - 3}{3} = \frac{y + 1}{2} = \frac{z - 4}{-2} = \lambda$ To find: Point where the line crosses the xy-plane (i.e., $z = 0$) From: $\frac{z - 4}{-2} = \lambda$ ⟹ $z = -2\lambda + 4$ Set $z = 0$: $0 = -2\lambda + 4$ ⟹ $\lambda = 2$ Now, using $\lambda = 2$: $x = 3\lambda + 3 = 3(2) + 3 = 9$ $y = 2\lambda - 1 = 2(2) - 1 = 3$ $z = 0$ $(9, 3, 0)$ |
