The equation of the plane which passes through \((2,-3,1)\) and is normal to the line joining the points \((3,4,-1)\) and \((2,-1,5)\) is given by

  1. A \(x+5 y-6 z+19=0\)
  2. B \(x-5 y+6 z-23=0\)
  3. C \(x+5 y+6 z+7=0\)
  4. D \(x-5 y-6 z-11=0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(x+5 y-6 z+19=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The required plane passes through \((2,-3,1)\).
It is normal to the line having d.r.s. \((1,5,-6)\).
\(\therefore \mathrm{x}+5 \mathrm{y}-6 \mathrm{z}=\mathrm{k} \Rightarrow 2+5(-3)-6(1)=1\) i.e. \(\mathrm{k}=-19\)
Hence equation of plane is \(x+5 y-6 z+19=0\)
