Find the vector equation of the plane passing through three points with position vectors , and . Also, find the coordinates of the point of intersection of this plane and the line = + λ
Solution:
Let the position vectors of the three points be,
= , = and = .
So, the equation of the plane passing through the points and is
= 0
⇒ . = 0
⇒ . = 0
⇒ = 14 ... (1)
So, the vector equation of the required plane is = 14
The equation of the given line is =
Position vector of any point on the given line is
= 3 + 2λ + (- 1 - 2λ) + (- 1 + λ) ... (2)
The point (2) lies on plane (1) if,
= 14
⇒ 9 (3) + 2λ + 3 - 1 - 2λ - (-1) + λ = 14
⇒ 11λ + 25 = 14
⇒ λ = - 1
Putting λ = - 1 in (2), we have
= (3 + 2λ) + (- 1 - 2λ) + (- 1 + λ)
= (3 + 2 - 1) + (- 1 - 2 - 1) + (- 1 + (- 1))
=
Thus, the position vector of the point of intersection of the given line and plane (1) is
and its co-ordinates are 1, 1, - 2 .
