The direction ratio's of line of intersection of two planes : 2x + y + z + 47 = 0 and 3x - 2y - z + 41 = 0 are : |
< 1, 5, - 7 > <1, - 1, 4 > < 2, 1, 1 > < 3, - 2, -1 > |
< 1, 5, - 7 > |
Normal vector to plane ax + by + cz + d = 0 is represents by ai + bj + ck. Hence, normal to first plane is i + j + k and normal to second plane is given by 3i - 2j - k. The line of intersection plane ⊥ to both these normal vectors. It's found by cross product of these normal vectors. $(2i + j + k)×(3i - 2j - k)=i−2j+k=\begin{bmatrix}\hat i & \hat j & \hat k\\2&1&1\\3&-2&-1\end{bmatrix}$ $\begin{bmatrix}\hat i & \hat j & \hat k\\2&1&1\\3&-2&-1\end{bmatrix}=\hat i(-1+2)-\hat j(-2-3) + \hat k(-4-3)$ $\hat i - \hat j(-5)+\hat k(-7) ⇒\hat i + 5\hat j - 7\hat k$ Direction ratio's are <1, 5, -7> |
