- D4
Correct answer
D. 4
Step-by-step solution
Given, P be the plane passing through the points 5 , 3 , 0 , 13 , 3 , - 2 and 1 , 6 , 2 Now, A B → = 8 i ^ - 2 k ^ , A C → = - 4 i ^ + 3 j ^ + 2 k ^ , So, normal vector to the plane will be, A B → × A C → = i ^ j ^ k ^ 8 0 - 2 - 4 3 2 = 6 i ^ - 8 j ^ + 24 k ^ Now equation of plane will be: 6 x - 8 y + 24 z = d And given plane passes through 5 , 3 , 0 So, 6 × 5 - 8 × 3 + 24 × 0 = d ⇒ d = 6 Hence, equation of plane will be, 6 x - 8 y + 24 z = 6 ⇒ 3 x - 4 y + 12
