Sir/Madam
In the problem ,Find the value of lambda Such that the line (X-2)/9 = Y-1/(lambda) = (Z+3)/-6 is perpendicular to the plane
3X-Y-2Z=7. (ans Lambda = - 3)(since line is perpendicular to the plane & parallel to its normal).How do we find the equation of the normal to the given Plane?
From Cartesian form ,we have, if θ is angle between the line and the plane ax + by + cz + d = 0, then
Now, condition for perpendicularity states that,if a given line is perpendicular to the plane, then it is parallel to its normal.
Therefore,
Consequently, we have
Now, the given equation of the line is:
and
equation of the plane is: 3x - y - 2z = 7
As, it is given that line is parallel to plane, therefore, we have
On putting the respective values of l, m, n, a , b and c in above equation, we get
Hope you get it!!
