The plane 2x2y3z14=02 x - 2 y - 3 z - 14 = 0 and the line joining (1, 2, 4) and (3, 3, 0) intersect at

A

(5, 2, 0)

B

(5, 4, -4)

C

(-3, -1, -6)

D

(10, -15, 12)

Answer

(5, 4, -4)

Explanation

Solution

Any point on the given line is (1+2t,2+t,44t)( 1 + 2 t , 2 + t , 4 - 4 t )

This lies in the given plane;

i.e. 2(1+2t)2(2+t)3(44t)14=02 ( 1 + 2 t ) - 2 ( 2 + t ) - 3 ( 4 - 4 t ) - 14 = 0

(i.e.,) 4t2t+12t+241214=04 t - 2 t + 12 t + 2 - 4 - 12 - 14 = 0

(i.e.) 14t28=014 t - 28 = 0

\thereforet = 2

∴ Intersection point is (5, 4, -4)
