The distance of the point P3,4,4 from the point of intersection of the line joining the points Q3,-4,-5 and R2,-3,1 and the plane 2x+y+z=7, is equal to _____.

Solution

We have, point P3,4,4

Equation of line joining the points Q3,-4,-5 and R2,-3,1 is x-3-1=y+41=z+56=r

Any point on above line is -r+3,r-4,6r-5

Now, satisfying it in the given plane 2x+y+z=7, we get

2-r+3+r-4+6r-5=7

r=2

So, required point of intersection is T1,-2,7.

Hence, PT=3-12+4+22+4-72=7.
