The correct Answer is:
To determine whether the point of intersection of the line \( x = y = z \) with the plane \( x + 2y + 3z = 6 \) is indeed \( (1, 1, -1) \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the line equation The line is defined by the equations \( x = y = z \). We can express this in terms of a parameter \( \lambda \): \[ x = \lambda, \quad y = \lambda, \quad z = \lambda \] Thus, any point on the line can be represented as \( (\lambda, \lambda, \lambda) \). ### Step 2: Substitute into the plane equation Next, we substitute \( x, y, z \) from the line into the plane equation \( x + 2y + 3z = 6 \): \[ \lambda + 2\lambda + 3\lambda = 6 \] This simplifies to: \[ 6\lambda = 6 \] ### Step 3: Solve for \( \lambda \) Now, we solve for \( \lambda \): \[ \lambda = 1 \] ### Step 4: Find the coordinates of the intersection point Substituting \( \lambda = 1 \) back into the equations for the line gives us the coordinates of the intersection point: \[ x = 1, \quad y = 1, \quad z = 1 \] Thus, the point of intersection is \( (1, 1, 1) \). ### Step 5: Compare with the given point The given point of intersection is \( (1, 1, -1) \). Since our calculated point of intersection is \( (1, 1, 1) \), we can conclude that the statement is false. ### Conclusion The point of intersection of the line \( x = y = z \) with the plane \( x + 2y + 3z = 6 \) is \( (1, 1, 1) \), not \( (1, 1, -1) \). ---
