Find the equation of the plane passing through the point (1, -2, 7) and parallel to the plane 5x + 4y - 11z = 6.
Let the equation of plane be
Direction ratios of parallel planes are related to each other as
Putting the values from the equation of a given parallel plane,
Putting in the equation of a plane
As the plane is passing through (1,-2,7), it must satisfy the plane,
(1)
Putting value in equation (1), we have
5x + 4y-11z + 80=0
So, the required equation of the plane is 5x + 4y-11z + 80=0.
