Solution
The equation of the line through A(3, 4, 1) and B(5, 1, 6) is
`(x-3)/(5-3)=(y-4)/(1-4)=(z-1)/(6-1)`
or
`(x-3)/2=(y-4)/-3=(z-1)/5 .......................(1)`
Any point on (1) is given by (2k + 3, −3k + 4, 5k + 1).
We know that the coordinates of any point on the XZ plane are (x1, 0, z1).
If (2k + 3, −3k + 4, 5k + 1) lies on the XZ plane, then
If (2k + 3, −3k + 4, 5k + 1) lies on the XZ plane, then
−3k + 4 = 0
⇒k=43
Thus, the coordinates of the point where the line joining A and B crosses the XZ plane are
`(2xx4/3+3, 0, 5xx4/3+1)=(17/3, 0, 23/3)`
The vector equation of the XZ plane is `vecr.hatj=1`
The vector equation of the line AB is vecr=(3hati+4hatj+hatk)+lambda(2hati-3hatj+5hatk)
Let θ be the angle between the XZ plane and the line AB.
`therefore sin theta=(vecb vecn)/(|vecb||vecn|)=((2hati-3hatj+5hatk).hatj)/(sqrt(4+9+25)sqrt(0+1+0))`
`sin theta=(0-3+0)/sqrt(38)`
`=>theta=sin^-1 (-3/sqrt38)=-sin^-1 (3/sqrt38)`
