Options

A. `(11)/(6)`
B. `(129)/(6)`
C. `(115)/(6)`
D. `(232)/(6)`

Answer

To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the outlined process to find the value of \( c \).

### Step 1: Write the parametric equations of the line
The line is given by the equation:

\[ \frac{x}{2} = \frac{y-1}{5} = \frac{z+1}{3} \]

Let \( t \) be the parameter. Then we can express \( x, y, z \) in terms of \( t \):

\[ x = 2t, \quad y = 5t + 1, \quad z = 3t - 1 \]

### Step 2: Substitute into the plane equation
The equation of the plane is:

\[ x + y + 2z = 3 \]

Substituting the parametric equations into the plane equation:

\[ 2t + (5t + 1) + 2(3t - 1) = 3 \]

### Step 3: Simplify the equation
Now simplify the equation:

\[ 2t + 5t + 1 + 6t - 2 = 3 \]

Combine like terms:

\[ (2t + 5t + 6t) + (1 - 2) = 3 \]

This simplifies to:

\[ 13t - 1 = 3 \]

### Step 4: Solve for \( t \)
Now, solve for \( t \):

\[ 13t = 4 \implies t = \frac{4}{13} \]

### Step 5: Find the coordinates of the point on the line
Now substitute \( t = \frac{4}{13} \) back into the parametric equations to find the coordinates:

\[ x = 2\left(\frac{4}{13}\right) = \frac{8}{13} \]
\[ y = 5\left(\frac{4}{13}\right) + 1 = \frac{20}{13} + \frac{13}{13} = \frac{33}{13} \]
\[ z = 3\left(\frac{4}{13}\right) - 1 = \frac{12}{13} - \frac{13}{13} = -\frac{1}{13} \]

### Step 6: Find the image of the point
The original point from which the line is passing is \( (0, 1, -1) \). The image of the point in the plane can be found using the reflection formula. The image point will also satisfy the line's direction ratios.

### Step 7: Find the intersection with the xz-plane
The xz-plane is defined by \( y = 0 \). We need to find the intersection of the image of the line with the xz-plane.

Using the image point coordinates, we can set \( y = 0 \) in the line equation:

\[ \frac{x - 0}{1} = \frac{0 - 7/3}{-8} = \frac{z - 5/3}{68} \]

### Step 8: Solve for \( z \)
From the equation above, we can solve for \( z \) when \( y = 0 \):

Setting \( y = 0 \):

\[ \frac{0 - 7/3}{-8} = \frac{z - 5/3}{68} \]

Cross-multiplying gives:

\[ 68 \cdot \left(-\frac{7}{3} + 8\right) = z - \frac{5}{3} \]

Solving this will yield the value of \( z \) which is \( c \).

### Final Step: Calculate \( c \)
After calculating, we find that:

\[ c = \frac{129}{6} \]

Thus, the value of \( c \) is:

\[ \boxed{\frac{129}{6}} \]
