The correct Answer is:
To find the distance of the point \( (2, 5, -3) \) from the plane given by the equation \( \vec{r} \cdot (6 \hat{i} - 3 \hat{j} + 2 \hat{k}) = 4 \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert the Plane Equation to Cartesian Form The given equation of the plane in vector form is: \[ \vec{r} \cdot (6 \hat{i} - 3 \hat{j} + 2 \hat{k}) = 4 \] This can be expressed in Cartesian form as: \[ 6x - 3y + 2z = 4 \] ### Step 2: Identify the Coefficients From the Cartesian equation \( 6x - 3y + 2z = 4 \), we can identify the coefficients: - \( A = 6 \) - \( B = -3 \) - \( C = 2 \) - \( D = 4 \) ### Step 3: Use the Distance Formula The formula for the distance \( D \) from a point \( (x_1, y_1, z_1) \) to the plane \( Ax + By + Cz = D \) is given by: \[ D = \frac{|Ax_1 + By_1 + Cz_1 - D|}{\sqrt{A^2 + B^2 + C^2}} \] Here, the point is \( (x_1, y_1, z_1) = (2, 5, -3) \). ### Step 4: Substitute the Values into the Formula Substituting the values into the distance formula: \[ D = \frac{|6(2) + (-3)(5) + 2(-3) - 4|}{\sqrt{6^2 + (-3)^2 + 2^2}} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the Numerator Calculating the numerator: \[ 6(2) = 12 \] \[ -3(5) = -15 \] \[ 2(-3) = -6 \] Now, combine these: \[ 12 - 15 - 6 - 4 = 12 - 15 - 6 - 4 = -13 \] Taking the absolute value: \[ |-13| = 13 \] ### Step 6: Calculate the Denominator Calculating the denominator: \[ \sqrt{6^2 + (-3)^2 + 2^2} = \sqrt{36 + 9 + 4} = \sqrt{49} = 7 \] ### Step 7: Final Calculation of Distance Now, substituting back into the distance formula: \[ D = \frac{13}{7} \] ### Conclusion Thus, the distance of the point \( (2, 5, -3) \) from the plane is: \[ \frac{13}{7} \text{ units} \] ---
