Expert Answer

To find the distance of a point (1,0,-3) from the plane x-y-z=9 measured along a line parallel to the line

x-2/2=y+2/3=z-6/-6

The given plane is x-y-z=9

So, the direction ratio of the line from the point P(1, 0, -3) to the given plane will be same as that of the given line.

The direction ratio will be (2, 3, -6)

Let this line from point P(1, 0, -3) meets the plane at Q

So, the equation of line passing through (1, 0, -3) with DR's (2, 3, -6) is

fraction numerator x minus 1 over denominator 2 end fraction equals fraction numerator y minus 0 over denominator 3 end fraction equals fraction numerator z plus 3 over denominator negative 6 end fraction equals lambda space... space left parenthesis i right parenthesis rightwards double arrow x equals 2 lambda plus 1 comma space y equals 3 lambda comma space z equals negative 6 lambda minus 3 therefore space c o o r d i n a t e s space o f space a n y space p o i n t space o n space t h e space l i n e space a r e space 2 lambda plus 1 comma space 3 lambda comma space minus 6 lambda minus 3 space Q space l i e s space o n space t h e space l i n e space g i v e n space b y space left parenthesis i right parenthesis rightwards double arrow c o o r d i n a t e s space Q space w i l l space b e space left parenthesis 2 lambda plus 1 comma space 3 lambda comma space minus 6 lambda minus 3 right parenthesis space f o r space s o m e space lambda Q space a l s o space l i e s space i n space t h e space p l a n e comma space s o space i t space b e c o m e s space t h e space p o i n t space o f space i n t e r s e c t i o n space o f space a space l i n e space a n d space p l a n e T h e r e f o r e comma space i t space s a t i s f i e s space t h e space e q u a t i o n space o f space t h e space p l a n e rightwards double arrow 2 lambda plus 1 minus 3 lambda plus 6 lambda plus 3 equals 9 rightwards double arrow 5 lambda plus 4 equals 9 rightwards double arrow lambda equals 1 H e n c e comma space t h e space c o o r d i n a t e s space o f space Q space a r e space left parenthesis 3 comma space 3 comma space minus 9 right parenthesis therefore space P Q equals square root of open parentheses 3 minus 1 close parentheses squared plus open parentheses 3 minus 0 close parentheses squared plus open parentheses negative 9 plus 3 close parentheses squared end root therefore space P Q equals square root of 4 plus 9 plus 36 end root equals 7
