Equation of the plane such that foot of altitude drawn from (-1, 1, 1) to the plane has the coordinate (3, -2, -1), is: |
x + y + z = 0 4x - 3y – 2z = 20 3x + y – z = 8 4x + 3y – z = 7 |
4x - 3y – 2z = 20 |
Clearly, the direction ratio of the plane are 4, –3, –2 Thus equation of plane will be 4x – 3y – 2z = d It will necessarily pass through (3, –2, –1) i.e,, d = 12 + 6 + 2 = 20 Thus the equation of plane is 4x – 3y – 2z = 20 |
