Question:

The image of the line $\frac{x-1}{3}=\frac{y-3}{1}=\frac{z-4}{-5}$ in the plane $2 x - y + z+ 3 = 0$ is the line.

Updated On: Aug 15, 2024
  • $\frac{x+3}{3}=\frac{y-5}{1}=\frac{z-2}{-5}$
  • $\frac{x+3}{-3}=\frac{y-5}{-1}=\frac{z+2}{5}$
  • $\frac{x-3}{3}=\frac{y+5}{1}=\frac{z-2}{-5}$
  • $\frac{x-3}{-3}=\frac{y+5}{-1}=\frac{z-2}{5}$

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

$\frac{a-1}{2}=\frac{b-3}{-1}=\frac{c-4}{1}=\lambda $ $\Rightarrow a=2 \lambda+1 $ $b=3-\lambda $ $c=4+\lambda $ $P \equiv\left(\lambda+1,3-\frac{\lambda}{2}, 4+\frac{\lambda}{2}\right) $ $2(\lambda+1)-\left(3-\frac{\lambda}{2}\right)+\left(4+\frac{\lambda}{2}\right)+3=0$ $2 \lambda+2-3+\frac{\lambda}{2}+4+\frac{\lambda}{2}+3=0$ $3 \lambda+6=0$ $ \Rightarrow\, \lambda=-2$ $a=-3, \,b=5, \,c=2$ So the equation of the required line is $\frac{x+3}{3}=\frac{y-5}{1}=\frac{z-2}{-5}$

Equation of a Line in Space

In a plane, the equation of a line is given by the popular equation y = m x + C. Let's look at how the equation of a line is written in vector form and Cartesian form.

Vector Equation

Consider a line that passes through a given point, say ‘A’, and the line is parallel to a given vector '\(\vec{b}\)‘. Here, the line ’l' is given to pass through ‘A’, whose position vector is given by '\(\vec{a}\)‘.  Now, consider another arbitrary point ’P' on the given line, where the position vector of 'P' is given by '\(\vec{r}\)'.

\(\vec{AP}\)=𝜆\(\vec{b}\)

Also, we can write vector AP in the following manner:

\(\vec{AP}\)=\(\vec{OP}\)\(\vec{OA}\)

𝜆\(\vec{b}\) =\(\vec{r}\)\(\vec{a}\)

\(\vec{a}\)=\(\vec{a}\)+𝜆\(\vec{b}\)

\(\vec{b}\)=𝑏1\(\hat{i}\)+𝑏2\(\hat{j}\) +𝑏3\(\hat{k}\)
