Question

An equation of plane parallel to plane x - 2 y + 2 z - 5 = 0 and at a unit distance from the origin is, x - 2 y + 2 z = 3, x - 2 y + 2 z + 1 = 0, x - 2 y + 2 z - 1 = 0, x - 2 y + 2 z + 5 = 0

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

Equation of plane parallel to the plane x - 2 y + 2 z - 5 = 0 is x - 2 y + 2 z + λ = 0 Since, this plane is unit distance from origin ∴ 1 = λ 1 + 4 + 4 | λ | = 3 ⇒ λ = ± 3 ∴ Equation of plane is x - 2 y + 2 z = 3
