# Find the Equation of the Plane Passing Through the Intersection of the Planes: X + Y + Z + 1 = 0 and 2x -3y + 5z -2 = 0 and the Point ( -1, 2, 1 ). - ISC (Commerce) Class 12 - Mathematics

#### Question

Find the equation of the plane passing through the intersection of the planes: x + y + z + 1 = 0  and 2x -3y + 5z -2 = 0 and the point ( -1, 2, 1 ).

#### Solution

Equation of required plane passing through the intersection of the planes x + y + x + 1 = 0

and 2x - 3y +  5y -  2  = 0 is

(x + y + z + 1) + lambda (2x - 3y + 5z - 2) = 0   .....(1)

It passes through (-1, 2, 1)

∴ (-1 + 2 + 1 + 1) +  lambda(-2 - 6 + 5  - 2) = 0

3 + lambda(-5) = 0

lambda = 3/5

In equation (1)

(x + y + z + 1) +  3/5 (2x - 3y + 5z - 2) = 0

5x + 5y + 5z + 5 + 6x - 9y + 15 z - 6 = 0

11x - 4y + 20z - 1 = 0

Is there an error in this question or solution?
