Find the equations of the plane passing through the point ( - 1, 0, 7) and parallel to the plane 3x – 5y + 4z = 11.

Formula : Plane = r . (n) = d


Where r = any random point


n = normal vector of plane


d = distance of plane from origin


If two planes are parallel , then their normal vectors are same.


Therefore ,


Parallel Plane 3x – 5y + 4z = 11


Normal vector = (3i - 5j + 4k)


Normal vector of required plane = (3i - 5j + 4k)


Equation of required plane r . (3i - 5j + 4k) = d


In cartesian form 3x - 5y + 4z = d


Plane passes through point ( - 1,0,7) therefore it will satisfy it.


3( - 1) - 5(0) + 4(7) = d


d = - 3 + 28 = 25


Equation of required plane 3x - 5y + 4z = 25
