Find the ratio in which the line joining the points (2,3,4) and (-1,4,5) is divided by the plane 3x+2y-z+2=0. Also find the point of intersection.
Let the point of intersection of the given points and the given equation be P(x,y,z).
Let the ratio be m1:m2
Coordinates of P (x,y,z) ~ ( (-m1+2m2)/(m1+m2) , (4m1+3m2)/(m1+m2) ,( 5m1+4m2)/(m1+m2). Substitute values of x,y and z in equation to obtain the ratio.
ratio is : (-7/6)
