find the equation of plane passing through point(0,7,-7) and containing line x+1/-3=y-3/2=z+2/1
Let the direction ratios of the plane =(a , b , c)
Direction ratio of given line (-3,2,1)
As,
The plane contain the line= -3a+2b+c=0 ...................(i)
Now,
Equation of plane
a(x-0) +b(y -7) +c[z-(-7)] =0
a(x-0) +b(y -7) +c(z+7) =0
The point (-1,3,-2) satisfy the equation of plane.
⇒a(-1-0) +b(3-7) +c(-2+7)=0
⇒-a-4b+5c=0
⇒ a+4b-5c=0...................(ii)
On Solving (i) and (ii), we get,
⇒ a=14
b=14
and
c=14
Thus, the equation of plane
⇒14(x-0) + 14(y-7) +14(z+7)=0
⇒x+y+z=0
