The equation of the plane through the points (2,3,1) and (4,-5,3) parallel to X -axis is
Options
- Ay+4 z=7
- By+4 z=-7
- Cy-4 z=7
- Dx+4 z=7
Correct answer
A. y+4 z=7
Step-by-step solution
We know that the equation of a plane parallel to X -axis is by +c z+d=0 . Since, it passes through the points (2,3,1) and (4,-5,3) . array lr & 3 b+c+d=0 and & -5 b+3 c+d=0 array array ll & b 1-3 = c -8 = d 14 & b -2 = c -8 = d 14 array Equation of plane is -2 y-8 z+14=0 i.e. y+4 z=7 .
