The correct Answer is:
To find the coordinates of the point at which the line \(\frac{x+1}{2} = \frac{y-3}{-2} = \frac{z+5}{6}\) meets the plane \(3x - y + z = 3\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Parametrize the line We start by letting the common ratio be \(R\): \[ \frac{x+1}{2} = \frac{y-3}{-2} = \frac{z+5}{6} = R \] From this, we can express \(x\), \(y\), and \(z\) in terms of \(R\): \[ x + 1 = 2R \implies x = 2R - 1 \] \[ y - 3 = -2R \implies y = -2R + 3 \] \[ z + 5 = 6R \implies z = 6R - 5 \] Thus, the coordinates of the point \(Q\) on the line can be expressed as: \[ Q(R) = (2R - 1, -2R + 3, 6R - 5) \] ### Step 2: Substitute into the plane equation Next, we substitute these expressions for \(x\), \(y\), and \(z\) into the plane equation \(3x - y + z = 3\): \[ 3(2R - 1) - (-2R + 3) + (6R - 5) = 3 \] ### Step 3: Simplify the equation Now, we simplify the left-hand side: \[ 6R - 3 + 2R - 3 + 6R - 5 = 3 \] Combining like terms: \[ (6R + 2R + 6R) - (3 + 3 + 5) = 3 \] \[ 14R - 11 = 3 \] ### Step 4: Solve for \(R\) Now, we solve for \(R\): \[ 14R = 3 + 11 \] \[ 14R = 14 \implies R = 1 \] ### Step 5: Find the coordinates of point \(Q\) Now that we have \(R\), we can substitute it back into the expressions for \(x\), \(y\), and \(z\): \[ x = 2(1) - 1 = 1 \] \[ y = -2(1) + 3 = 1 \] \[ z = 6(1) - 5 = 1 \] Thus, the coordinates of point \(Q\) are: \[ Q(1, 1, 1) \] ### Final Answer The coordinates of the point at which the line meets the plane are: \[ (1, 1, 1) \]
