The equation of the plane passing through the points (2, -1, 0), (3, -4, 5) and parallel to the line 2x = 3y = 4z is : |
125x – 90y – 79z = 340 32x – 21y – 36z = 85 73x + 61y – 22z = 85 29x – 27y – 22z = 85 |
29x – 27y – 22z = 85 |
Give line is 2x = 3y = 4z i.e., $\frac{x}{6}=\frac{y}{4}=\frac{z}{3}$ Let the plane be Ax + by + cz = 1 We have 6a + 4b + 3c = 0 2a – b = 1 3a – 4b + 5c = 1 $\Rightarrow a=\frac{29}{85}, b=\frac{27}{85}, c=-\frac{22}{85}$ Thus equation of plane is 29x – 27y – 22z = 85 |
