Three-dimensional Geometry

Question:

The equation of the plane through the point (1, 2, 3) and parallel to the plane x + 2y + 5z = 0 is

Options:

$(x-1) +2(y-2) + 5(z-3) = 0 $

$x + 2y + 5z  14$

$x + 2y + 5z = 6 $

none of these

Correct Answer:

$(x-1) +2(y-2) + 5(z-3) = 0 $

Explanation:

Required plane is parallel to the plane x + 2y + 5z = 0. Therefore, direction ratios of a vector normal to the plane are proportional to 1, 2, 5.

Hence, the equation of the required plane is

$(x-1) +2(y-2) + 5(z-3) = 0 $
