Equation of any plane parallel to the plane – 2x + y– 3 z = 0 is –2x + y –3 z = k .... (1)
∴ it passes through P (1,4, - 2)
∴ –2 + 4 + 6 = k ⇒ k = 8
Putting k = 8 in (1), we get, – 2x + y–3 z = 8 which is the required equation.
Find equation of the plane parallel to x + 3y – 2z + 7 = 0 and passing through the origin.
In each of the following cases, determine the direction cosines of the normal to the plane and the distance from the origin.
z = 2
In each of the following cases, determine the direction cosines of the normal to the plane and the distance from the origin.
x + y + z = 1
