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