Mark the correct alternative in the following:
The vector equation of the plane containing the line and the point
is
The plane contains the line and the point
As, the plane contains the line,
so, the plane contains the
point also.
On putting λ=1, we get another point on the plane which is i.e.
So, we got three points on the plane, they are, ,
and
Let,
and
So, and
Now, the normal of these two vectors i.e. and
is,
The general equation of plane is,
7(x - 1) + 21(z - 3)=0
7x - 7 + 21z - 63=0
7x + 21z=70
x + 3z=10
or,
Hence, the vector equation of the plane containing the line and the point
is
.
