Find the distance of the point (1, 0, -3) from the plane x - y -z = 9 measured parallel to the line
Given plane is x - y - z = 9---------(1)
Given line AB is
Equation of a line passing through the point Q (1, 0, -3) and parallel to line (2) is
Co-ordinates of point on line (3) may be taken as P (2r + 1, 3r, -6r -3)
If P is the point of intersection of line (3) and plane (1), then P lies on plane (1),
(2r +1)- (3r) - (- 6r-3) = 9 gives r = 1
or
Distance between points Q(1, 0, -3) and P (3, 3, - 9)
