The square of the distance of the point of intersection of the line
and the plane 2x − y + z = 6 from the point ( − 1, − 1, 2) is .
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
61
(61)

x = 2λ + 1, y = 3λ + 2, z = 6λ − 1
for point of intersection of line \& plane
2(2λ + 1) − (3λ + 2) + (6λ − 1) = 6
7λ = 7 ⇒ λ = 1
point :(3, 5, 5)
( distance ) 2 = (3 + 1) 2 + (5 + 1) 2 + (5 − 2) 2
= 16 + 36 + 9 = 61
