Find the parametric equations of the line that passes throug
Find the parametric equations of the line that passes through the point P(2, 1, 3) and is
perpendicular to the plane 5x + 2y + 3z = 1.
perpendicular to the plane 5x + 2y + 3z = 1.
Solution
Since we have the plane 5x+2y+3z=1 , we know that the vector [5, 2, 3] is perpendicular to the plane so we get parametric eq with the point (2,1,3) as x = 2+5t, y = 1+ 2t, z = 3+3t solving for t, we get eq of line (x-1)/5 = (y-1)/2 = (z-3)/3
