Mark the correct alternative in the following:
The vector equation of the plane containing the line
and the point
is
The plane contains the line
and the point ![]()
As, the plane contains the line,
so, the plane contains the
point also.
On putting λ=1, we get another point on the plane which is
i.e. ![]()
So, we got three points on the plane, they are,
,
and ![]()
Let, ![]()
and ![]()
So,
and ![]()
Now, the normal of these two vectors i.e.
and
is,
![]()


![]()
![]()
The general equation of plane is,
![]()
![]()
7(x - 1) + 21(z - 3)=0
7x - 7 + 21z - 63=0
7x + 21z=70
x + 3z=10
or, ![]()
Hence, the vector equation of the plane containing the line
and the point
is
.
