Q2 of 230 Page 29

Find the equation of the plane through (3, 4, –1) which is parallel to the plane

given equation of the plane is


…… (1)


We know that the equation of a plane parallel to given plane (1) is


…… (2)


As given that, plane (2) is passing through the point so it satisfy the equation (2),



(3)(2) + (4)( – 3) + ( – 1)(5) + k = 0


6 – 12 – 5 + k = 0


k = 11


put the value of k in equation (2),



So, the equation of the required plane is,
