Math Problem Statement
Solution
It looks like you need help with three problems involving planes and lines in 3D space.
-
Equation of a plane: You are given a point (2, 3, 6) and a normal vector (6, 9, 9), and you need to find the equation of the plane.
-
Equation of a plane: You need to find the equation of a plane passing through the point (10, -1, 5) and containing the line described by the symmetric equations.
-
Intersection of a line with a plane: You need to find the point where the line defined by the parametric equations intersects the plane defined by the equation .
Let's solve them one by one.
1. Equation of the Plane
Given:
- Point:
- Normal vector:
The general form of the equation of a plane is: Where is a point on the plane, and is the normal vector.
Substitute and : Simplify: This is the equation of the plane.
2. Equation of the Plane Containing a Line
You are given the point and a line with symmetric equations:
From these symmetric equations, you can obtain the direction vector of the line as .
You will need another direction vector, which is not provided directly, to fully define the plane. You can form this vector by using a point on the line and the given point , or other available information.
3. Intersection of a Line and a Plane
Substitute the parametric equations of the line into the equation of the plane. The parametric equations are: Substitute into the plane equation : Simplify: So, .
Substitute into the parametric equations to find the coordinates: Thus, the point of intersection is .

Here are 5 related questions to expand on the topic:
- How do you find the equation of a plane when the normal vector is not provided?
- What is the geometric interpretation of the normal vector in the context of a plane?
- How do you calculate the angle between two planes using their normal vectors?
- How can you determine the distance from a point to a plane?
- How can you determine if two planes are parallel or perpendicular?
Tip: To check if two planes are parallel, see if their normal vectors are scalar multiples of each other.
