A $A(3,2,-1)$ and $B(1,4,3)$, then equation of the plane which bisects segment AB perpendicularly

A $A(3,2,-1)$ and $B(1,4,3)$, then equation of the plane which bisects segment AB perpendicularly
  1. $x+y+2 z+3=0$
  2. $x-y+2 z-3=0$
  3. $x+y-2 z-3=0$
  4. $x-y-2 z+3=0$

Solution

Since the plane bisects seg $A B$, the plane meets the line $A B$ at the mid point i.e. $\left(\frac{3+1}{2}, \frac{2+4}{2}, \frac{-1+3}{2}\right) \equiv(2,3,1)$ Now line $A B$ is $\perp$ er to the plane Direction ratios of plane are $1-3,4-2,3+1$ i.e. $-2,2,4$ i.e. $-1,1,2$ Equation of plane passing through $(2,3,1)$ and having d.r.s. $(-1,1,2)$ are $-(x-2)+(y-3)+2(z-1)=0 \Rightarrow-x+2+y-3+2 z-2=0$ $\therefore x-y-2 z+3=0$
