Practicing Success
Let P he the plane passing through the point (1, 2, 3) and perpendicular to the line$\frac{x-2}{1}=\frac{y-3}{-1}=\frac{z-4}{2}$. Then the distance of the (3, -2, -3) from the P is: |
$\frac{4}{\sqrt{6}}$ $\sqrt{6}$ $\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}}$ 6 |
$\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}}$ |
The required plane is perpendicular to the line (x-2)/1= (y-3)/-1 = (z-7)/2 and passes through a point (1,2,3) As we know that the equation of the plane perpendicular to a line with direction ratios (a,b,c) and passing through the point (x1, y1, z1) a (x- x1) + b (y-y1) + c(z-z1) = 0 Here a = 1 , b= -1, c= 2 and X1 = 1, y1 = 2, z1= 3 So, the equation of the plane 1(x- 1) - 1(y- 2) + 2(z - 3) =0 x- y + 2z -5 =0 The distance between the plane x- y + 2z -5 =0 and the point (3, -2 ,-3) = {(1×3) + (-1×-2) +(2 ×-3)}/√(6) = 1/√(6)
