Show that the point (i-j+3k) and 3(i+j+k) are equidistant from the plane 5x+2y-7z+9=0 and lies on opposite side of it



Dear Student,
Please find below the solution to the asked query:

Given pointsAi-j+3k=1,-1,3B3i+3j+3k=3,3,3Given plane = 5x+2y-7z+9=0Perpendicular distance of A from plane=5×1+2×-1-7×3+925+4+49=-978=978unitsPerpendicular distance of B from plane=5×3+2×3-7×3+925+4+49=978=978unitshence both points are equidistant from the plane.Put each point A and B in the plane equation :for A:5×1+2×-1-7×3+9=-9<0-vefor B:5×3+2×3-7×3+9=9 >0 +vesince both signs are opposite to each other the points lie on the opposite sides.
