Answer :
we know that equation of plane passing through (x1, y1, z1) is given by
a(x – x1) + b(y – y1) + c(z – z1) = 0 …… (1)
Required plane is passing through (0, 7, – 7) so
a(x – 0) + b(y – 7) + c(z + 7) = 0
ax + b(y – 7) + c(z + 7) = 0 …… (2)
plane (2) also contain line so, it passes through point (– 1, 3, – 2),
a(– 1) + b(3 – 7) + c(– 2 + 7) = 0
– a – 4b + 5c = 0 …… (3)
Also plane (2) will be parallel to line so,
a1a2 + b1b2 + c1c2 = 0
(a)(– 3) + (b)(2) + (c)(1) = 0
– 3a + 2b + c = 0 …… (4)
Solution (3) and (4) by cross – multiplication,
a = – 14, b = – 14
, c = – 14
put a, b, c in equation (2),
ax + b(y – 7) + c(z + 7) = 0
(– 14)x + (– 14
)(y – 7) + (– 14
)(z + 7) = 0
Dividing by (– 14) we get
x + y – 7 + z + 7 = 0
x + y + z = 0
so, equation of plane containing the given point and line is x + y + z = 0
the other line is
so, a1a2 + b1b2 + c1c2 = 0
(1)(1) + (1)(– 3) + (1)(2) = 0
1 – 3 + 2 = 0
0 = 0
LHS = RHS
So, lie on plane x + y + z = 0
