Detailed Solution
Given:
Equation of required plane contain the point A(2, 1, -1),
Hence, by using the standard equation of the plane a(x-x1)+b(y-y1)+c(z-z1)=0, where (x1, y1, z1)=(2, 1,-1). It follows,
a(x-2)+b(y-1)+c(z+1)=0
From the question given that plane is perpendicular to the line of intersection of 2x+y−z=3 and
x+2y+z=2,
Hence, it’s coefficient dot product will zero,
For line x+2y+z=2,
(1, 2, 1) ⋅(a,b,c) = 0
Let add the equation (1) in (2),
Substitute the value of a=-b in equation (1),
Now, the equation of the plane,
Substitute in the equation.
Now, recall the formula for angle between line and plane which is given by,
Now, the angle between y-axis(D.R’s (0, 1, 0)) and x-y+z=0 is,
Here, (a, b, c)=(0, 1, 0) and (l, m, n)=(1, -1, 1)
Therefore, the equation of plane is and the angle between y-axis and the plane is
OR
Given,
The line of equation:
And the plane of the equation:
To find the point of intersection of line and plane, we will putting the value offrom the equation of line into the equation of plane,
Substitute this value in the equation of line,
Let the point of intersection be (x, y, z),
Hence,
Therefore, x=1, y=-1 and z=4.
So the point of intersection is Q(1, -1, 4).
Now, we know that the distance between two points (x1, y1, z1) and (x2, y2, z2) is
For distance between P(-2, -4, 7) and Q(1, -1, 4),
For vector equation of PQ,
Given that PQ passes through P(-2, -4, 7), so its position vector is given by,
Now, for direction ration of PQ,
So, the equation of the vector in the direction of PQ is,
Recall the equation of vector form For PQ
Therefore, distance between the points PQ is and the vector equation of the line PQ is.
