The equation of the plane passing through the intersection of the planes and $2x + 3y + 4z + 5 = 0$ and the point is:

  1. A.$20x + 23y + 26z - 69 = 0$
  2. B.$20x + 23y + 26z + 69 = 0$
  3. C.$20x - 23y + 26z - 69 = 0$
  4. D.$20x + 23y - 26z - 69 = 0$
Show correct answer & step-by-step solution

Correct answer: A$20x + 23y + 26z - 69 = 0$

Solution

  1. The equation of any plane passing through the intersection of and $2x + 3y + 4z + 5 = 0$ is given by .
  2. Substitute the point into the equation to find : , which simplifies to , so .
  3. Substitute back into the family equation: .
  4. Multiply the entire equation by 14 to clear the fraction: $14(x + y + z - 6) + 3(2x + 3y + 4z + 5) = 0$, resulting in $14x + 14y + 14z - 84 + 6x + 9y + 12z + 15 = 0$.
  5. Combine like terms to obtain $20x + 23y + 26z - 69 = 0$.
  6. Hence the answer is (A).
