To find the ratio in which the \( y-z \) plane divides the line segment joining the points \( A(-2, 4, 7) \) and \( B(3, -5, 8) \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem The \( y-z \) plane is defined by the equation \( x = 0 \). We need to find a point \( P(x, y, z) \) on the line segment \( AB \) such that \( x = 0 \). ### Step 2: Use the Section Formula Let the ratio in which the \( y-z \) plane divides the line segment \( AB \) be \( \lambda:1 \). According to the section formula, the coordinates of point \( P \) dividing the line segment \( AB \) in the ratio \( \lambda:1 \) are given by: ...
