Write the equation of the plane passing through the point (a, b, c) and parallel to the plane ![]()
Given :
A ≡ (a, b, c)
Equation of plane parallel to required plane
![]()
To Find : Equation of plane
Formulae :
1) Position vectors :
If A is a point having co-ordinates (a1, a2, a3), then its position vector is given by,
![]()
2) Dot Product :
If
are two vectors
![]()
![]()
then,
![]()
3) Equation of plane :
If a plane is passing through point A, then equation of plane is
![]()
Where, ![]()
![]()
![]()
Answer :
For point A ≡ (a, b, c), position vector is
![]()
As plane
is parallel to the required plane, the vector normal to required plane is
![]()
Now, ![]()
= a + b + c
Equation of the plane passing through point A and perpendicular to vector
is
![]()
![]()
