The equation of the plane passing through $(-2,2,2)$ and $(2,-2,-2)$ and perpendicular to the plane $9 x-13 y-3 z=0$ is
  1. $5 x-3 y+2 z=12$
  2. $5 x+3 y+2 z=0$
  3. $5 x+3 y-2 z+8=0$
  4. $5 x-3 y+2 z+12=0$

Solution

Equation of plane passing through $(-2,2,2)$ is $a(x+2)+b$ $(\mathrm{y}-2)+\mathrm{c}(\mathrm{z}-2)=0$ Since this plane also passes through $(2,-2,-2)$, we get $4 \mathrm{a}-4 \mathrm{~b}-4 \mathrm{c}=0 \Rightarrow \mathrm{a}-\mathrm{b}-\mathrm{c}=0$ Normal of the plane is parallel to $9 x-13 y-3 z=0 \Rightarrow 9 a-13 b-3 c=0$ Solving (1) and (2), we write $\frac{\mathrm{a}}{\left|\begin{array}{cc} -1 & -1 \\ -13 & -3 \end{array}\right|}=\frac{\mathrm{b}}{\left|\begin{array}{cc} 1 & -1 \\ 0 & -3 \end{array}\right|}=\frac{\mathrm{c}}{\left|\begin{array}{cc} 1 & -1 \\ 9 & -13 \end{array}\right|}$ $\therefore \frac{\mathrm{a}}{-10}=\frac{-\mathrm{b}}{6}=\frac{\mathrm{c}}{-4} \Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{a}}{5}=\frac{\mathrm{b}}{3}=\frac{\mathrm{c}}{2}$ Hence equation of required plane is $5(x+2)+3(y-2)+2(z-2)=0 \text { i.e. } 5 x+3 y+2 z=0$
