The correct Answer is:
To find the coordinates of the point where the line joining the points \((-2, 1, 4)\) and \((2, 0, 3)\) meets the \(yz\)-plane, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Points Let the points be: - \( P(-2, 1, 4) \) - \( Q(2, 0, 3) \) ### Step 2: Find the Direction Ratios The direction ratios of the line joining points \(P\) and \(Q\) can be calculated as follows: - The direction ratio along \(x\) is \(2 - (-2) = 4\) - The direction ratio along \(y\) is \(0 - 1 = -1\) - The direction ratio along \(z\) is \(3 - 4 = -1\) Thus, the direction ratios are \( (4, -1, -1) \). ### Step 3: Write the Parametric Equations of the Line Using the parametric form, we can express the coordinates of any point on the line as: \[ x = -2 + 4t \] \[ y = 1 - t \] \[ z = 4 - t \] where \(t\) is a parameter. ### Step 4: Determine the Condition for the \(yz\)-Plane The \(yz\)-plane is defined by the equation \(x = 0\). We need to find the value of \(t\) when \(x = 0\): \[ -2 + 4t = 0 \] ### Step 5: Solve for \(t\) Solving the equation: \[ 4t = 2 \implies t = \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2} \] ### Step 6: Substitute \(t\) Back into the Parametric Equations Now we substitute \(t = \frac{1}{2}\) into the equations for \(y\) and \(z\): \[ y = 1 - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{2} \] \[ z = 4 - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{7}{2} \] ### Step 7: Write the Coordinates of the Point Thus, the coordinates of the point where the line meets the \(yz\)-plane are: \[ (0, \frac{1}{2}, \frac{7}{2}) \] ### Final Answer The coordinates of the point at which the line joining the points \((-2, 1, 4)\) and \((2, 0, 3)\) meets the \(yz\)-plane are: \[ \boxed{(0, \frac{1}{2}, \frac{7}{2})} \]
