Show that the plane whose vector equation is and the line whose vector equation is
are parallel. Also, find the distance between them.
We know that line and plane
is parallel if
……(1)
Given, equation of line
and equation of plane is
,
So, and
Now,
=
= 2 + 2 – 4 = 0
So, the line and the plane are parallel
We know that the distance (D) of a plane from a point
is given by
We take the mod value
So,
