The equation of the plane passing through the points $(2,3,1),(4,-5,3)$ and parallel to $\mathrm{y}$ -axis is

The equation of the plane passing through the points $(2,3,1),(4,-5,3)$ and parallel to $\mathrm{y}$ -axis is
  1. $x+z=3$
  2. $x+z=1$
  3. $x-z=1$
  4. $z-x+2=0$

Solution

Equation of plane passing through the point $(2,3,1)$ is $a(x-2)+b(y-3)+c(z-1)=0$ $\ldots(1)$ Given point $(4,-5,3)$ lies on plane $2 a-8 b+2 c=0$ $\ldots(2)$ Since plane is parallel to $\mathrm{Y}$-axis, having d.r. $(0,1,0)$ (a) $(0)+(\mathrm{b})(1)+(\mathrm{c})(0)=0 \Rightarrow \mathrm{b}=0$ Putting in equation (2) we get $2 a+2 c=0 \Rightarrow a=-c$ Putting values of $\mathrm{a}, \mathrm{b}$ in equation (1) $\begin{aligned} &-c(x-2)+c(z-1)=0 \\ \therefore &(x-2)-(z-1)=0 \\ \therefore & x-z=1 \end{aligned}$
