56. If the points (–1, 3, 2), (– 4, 2, –2) and (5, 5, λ) are collinear, then find the value of λ.


The equation of line through (–1,3, 2) and (– 4, 2, –2) is
                      fraction numerator straight x minus left parenthesis negative 1 right parenthesis over denominator negative 4 plus 1 end fraction space equals space fraction numerator straight y minus 3 over denominator 2 minus 3 end fraction space equals space fraction numerator straight z minus 2 over denominator negative 2 minus 2 end fraction

or                 fraction numerator straight x plus 1 over denominator negative 3 end fraction space equals space fraction numerator straight y minus 3 over denominator negative 1 end fraction space equals space fraction numerator straight z minus 2 over denominator negative 4 end fraction                            ...(1)

Since points (–1, 3, 2), (– 4, 2, –2) and (5, 5, λ) are collinear
∴    point (5, 5, λ) lies on (1)

therefore space space space space space space space space space space fraction numerator 5 plus 1 over denominator negative 3 end fraction space equals space fraction numerator 5 minus 3 over denominator negative 1 end fraction space equals space fraction numerator straight lambda minus 2 over denominator negative 4 end fraction
therefore space space space space space space space space space space space minus 2 space equals space space minus 2 space equals space fraction numerator straight lambda minus 2 over denominator negative 4 end fraction
therefore space space space space space space space space straight lambda minus 2 space equals space 8 space space space space space space space rightwards double arrow space space space space straight lambda space equals space 10
