Explain solution RD Sharma class 12 chapter 28 The Plane exercise Fill in the blank question 20 maths

Answers (1)

Answer:

 x - 3z = 10  is the required Cartesian equation

Hint:

 use direction cosine formula.

Given:

 P(1,0,-3)

Solution:

Assume direction cosine of the normal (a,b,c)

Equation of plane passing through (x,y,z)

\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow a(x-x_{1})+b(y-y_1)+c(z-z_1)=0\\ \end{aligned}

Point  P(1,0,-3)

\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow a(x-1)+b(y-0)+c(z-(-3))=0\\ \end{aligned}

Direction cosine of normal

(a,b,c) = (1 - 0, 0 - 0, -3 - 0)

(a,b,c) = (1,0,-3)

Equation of the plane

[(x - 1)+ 0 (y - 0) - 3 (2- (-3))]=0

x - 3z = 10
