Find the equation of the plane through the line of intersection of the planes x - 3y + z + 6 = 0 and x + 2y + 3z + 5 = 0, and passing through the origin.
Equation of plane through the line of intersection of planes in Cartesian form is
(1)
For the standard equation of planes,
![]()
So, putting in equation (1), we have
x-3y + z + 6 + λ(x + 2y + 3z + 5)=0
(1 + λ)x + (-3 + 2λ)y + (1 + 3λ)z + 6 + 5λ=0 (2)
Now plane passes through (0,0,0) then it must satisfy the plane equation,
(1 + λ).0 + (-3 + 2λ).0 + (1 + 3λ).0 + 6 + 5λ=0
5λ=-6

Putting in equation (2)


-x-27y-13z=0
x + 27y + 13z=0
So, required equation of plane is x + 27y + 13z=0.
