The image of the point (1, 3, 4) in the plane 2x - y + z + 3 = 0, is |
(3, 5, 2) (-3, 5, 2) (3, 5, -2) (3, -5, 2) |
(-3, 5, 2) |
Let $(\alpha, \beta, \gamma )$ be the image of the point (1, 3, 4) in the plane 2x - y + z + 3 = 0. Then, $\frac{\alpha - 1}{2} = \frac{\beta - 3}{-1} = \frac{\gamma - 4}{1}= -\frac{2(2×1-3×1+4×1+3)}{2^2+(-1)^2 + 1^2}$ $⇒ \frac{\alpha - 1}{2} = \frac{\beta - 3}{-1} = \frac{\gamma - 4}{1}= -2 ⇒ \alpha = -3, \beta = 5, \gamma = 2 $ Hence, the image has the coordinates (-3, 5, 2). |
