If the foot of the perpendicular drawn from the point (0,0,0) to the plane is (4, -2, -5) then the equation of the plane is …..
Options
- A4 x + 2 y + 5 z = - 13
- B4 x - 2 y - 5 z = 45
- C4 x + 2 y - 5 z = 37
- D4 x - 2 y + 5 z = - 5
Correct answer
B. 4 x - 2 y - 5 z = 45
Step-by-step solution
We have, foot of the perpendicular drawn from the point (0,0, 0) to the plane is (4, -2, -5). ∴ Direction ratios of normal to the required plane is 0 - 4,0 + 2,0 + 5) i . e (- 4,2 , 5 ∴ Required equation of plane passing through (4, -2, 5) is a x - x 1 + b y - y 1 + c z - z 1 = 0 ⇒ - 4 x - 4 + - 2 y + 2 + 5 z + 5 = 0 ⇒ - 4 x + 2 y + 5 z + 16 + 4 + 25 = 0 ⇒ 4 x - 2 y - 5 z = 45
