Passage: A line LL passing through the point (−1,2,−3)(-1,2,-3) is perpendicular to the plane PP given by 2x+3y+z+5=02x+3y+z+5=0.

Question: What is the equation of the line LL ?

Options

  1. A1−x=y+2=3−z1-x=y+2=3-z
  2. B−(x+1)=y−2=z+3-(x+1)=y-2=z+3
  3. C3x+3=2y−4=6z+183x+3=2y-4=6z+18
  4. D3x−3=2y+4=6z−183x-3=2y+4=6z-18

Correct answer

C. 3x+3=2y−4=6z+183x+3=2y-4=6z+18

Step-by-step solution

The line LL is perpendicular to the plane 2x+3y+z+5=02x+3y+z+5=0, so its direction ratios are proportional to the normal vector of the plane, which is (2,3,1)(2, 3, 1).

The equation of the line passing through (−1,2,−3)(-1, 2, -3) with direction ratios (2,3,1)(2, 3, 1) is given by:

x+12=y−23=z+31\dfrac{x+1}{2} = \dfrac{y-2}{3} = \dfrac{z+3}{1}

Multiplying the entire equation by 66, we get:

3(x+1)=2(y−2)=6(z+3)3(x+1) = 2(y-2) = 6(z+3)

3x+3=2y−4=6z+183x+3 = 2y-4 = 6z+18

Answer: 3x+3=2y−4=6z+183x+3=2y-4=6z+18
