Find the vector and cartesian equations of the planes that passes through the point (1, 0, – 2) and the normal to the plane is
Solution:
Vector Form : The equation of the plane, which passes through and normal to is Here and ∴ The equation of the plane is i.e., Cartesian Form :If < a, b, c > are direction ratios of the normal to the plane, then the equation of the plane through (x, y, z) is .This passes through (1, 0, – 2),.Direction ratios of normal are < 1, 1, –1 >∴ a = 1, b = 1, c = – 1∴ The equation of the plane is :1 (x – 1) + 1 (y – 0) – 1 (z + 2) = 0⇒ x – 1 + y – z – 2 = 0 ⇒ x + y – z = 3.
