Question

Find the distance of the z-axis from the image of the point M(2,-3,3) in the plane x-2y-z+1=0'

Moderate
Solution

If image of point (2, - 3, 3) in the plane x - 2y - z + 1 = 0 is (a, b, c), then 

a21=b+32=c31=2(22(3)3+1)(1)2+(2)2+(1)2=2

Hence, the image is (0, 1, 5) Obviously distance of image of the point from the z-axis is 1.
