Find the coordinates of the point in xz – plane which is the point of intersection of the plane and the line joining the points (2, 4, 5) and (3, 5,– 4). |

Answer» Equation of line joining points (2, 4, 5) and (3, 5, -4) is \(\frac{x-2}{3-2}=\frac{y-4}{5-4}=\frac{z-5}{-4-5}\)----(1) ⇒ \(\frac{x-2}1=\frac{y-4}1 = \frac{z-5}{-9}(Let)\) \(\therefore\) Co-ordinates of arbitrary points of line are (\(\lambda+2,\lambda+4, -9\lambda+5\))----(2) Required point is intersection point of line (1) and xz - plane. \(\therefore\) \(\lambda+4=0\) ⇒ \(\lambda=-4\) (\(\because\) y - co-ordinate of xz-plane is 0) Therefore co-ordinates of required point are (-4 + 2, -4 + 4, -9 x -4 + 5) (From (2)) or (-2, 0, 41). Hence, co-ordinates of required point are (-2, 0, 41) |
