The equation of the plane through the point (2,-1,-3) and parallel to the lines x-1 3 = y+2 2 = z -4 and x 2 = y-1 -3 = z-2 2 is
Options
- A8 x+14 y+13 z+37=0
- B8 x-14 y-13 z-37=0
- C8 x-14 y-13 z+37=0
- DNone of the above
Correct answer
A. 8 x+14 y+13 z+37=0
Step-by-step solution
The equation of plane passing through ((2,-1,-3) ) is (a(x-2)+b(y+1)+c(z+3)=0 ) Also, as the plane is parallel is the given two lines, ( 3 a+2 b-4 c=0 ) and (2 a-3 b+2 c=0 ) ( a =-8, ~b =-14, c =-13 ) ( ) The equation of the required plane is (-8(x-2)-14(y+1)-13(z+3)=0 ) ( 8 x+14 y+13 z+37=0 ) So the answer is (a).
