Mathematics Question on Tangents and Normals

Consider the plane 2x + y – 3z = 6. If (𝛼, 𝛽, 𝛾) is the image of point (2, 3, 5) in the given plane, then 𝛼 + 𝛽 + 𝛾 = ______

Answer

The correct answer is : 10
x22=y31=z53=2(14)14\frac{x-2}{2}=\frac{y-3}{1}=\frac{z-5}{-3}=-2\frac{(-14)}{14}
x=6,y=5,z=1\Rightarrow x=6,y=5,z=-1
α=6,β=5,γ=1\therefore \alpha=6,\beta=5,\gamma=-1
α+β+γ=6+51=10\alpha+\beta+\gamma = 6+5-1=10
