Question

Let L be the line through the intersection of the planes 3 x - y + 2 z + 1 = 0 and 3 x - 2 y + z = 3 . Then, the equation of the plane passing through 2 , 1 , 4 and perpendicular to the line L is, x + y - z = 2, x + y - z + 1 = 0, x + y + z - 7 = 0, 2 x - 3 y + 4 z = 17

A vector parallel to the line of intersection is i ^ j ^ k ^ 3 - 1 2 3 - 2 1 = i ^ 3 - j ^ - 3 + k ^ - 3 = 3 i ^ + 3 j ^ - 3 k ^ Also, the line of intersection is perpendicular to the required plane. Hence, equation of the plane is 1 x - 2 + 1 y - 1 - 1 z - 4 = 0 ⇒ x + y - z + 1 = 0
