The equation of the line, passing through $(1,2,3)$ and parallel to planes $x-y+2 z=5$ and $3 x+y+z=6$, is

The equation of the line, passing through $(1,2,3)$ and parallel to planes $x-y+2 z=5$ and $3 x+y+z=6$, is
  1. $\frac{x-1}{-3}=\frac{y-2}{5}=\frac{z-3}{4}$
  2. $\frac{x-1}{-3}=\frac{y-2}{-5}=\frac{z-3}{4}$
  3. $\frac{x-1}{4}=\frac{y-2}{5}=\frac{z-3}{3}$
  4. $\frac{x-1}{5}=\frac{y-2}{7}=\frac{z-3}{1}$

Solution

Required equation of line is $\begin{aligned} & \frac{x-1}{\left|\begin{array}{cc} -1 & 2 \\ 1 & 1 \end{array}\right|}=\frac{y-2}{-\left|\begin{array}{ll} 1 & 2 \\ 3 & 1 \end{array}\right|}=\frac{\mathrm{z}-3}{\left|\begin{array}{cc} 1 & -1 \\ 3 & 1 \end{array}\right|} \\ \therefore \quad & \frac{x-1}{-3}=\frac{y-2}{5}=\frac{z-3}{4} \end{aligned}$
