The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will find the point of intersection of the two lines and then calculate the distance from that point to the given plane. ### Step 1: Parameterize the lines The first line is given by: \[ \frac{x-1}{2} = \frac{y-2}{3} = \frac{z-3}{4} \] Let \( t \) be the parameter. Then we can express the coordinates as: \[ x = 2t + 1, \quad y = 3t + 2, \quad z = 4t + 3 \] The second line is given by: \[ \frac{x-4}{5} = \frac{y-1}{2} = \frac{z}{1} \] Let \( s \) be the parameter. Then we can express the coordinates as: \[ x = 5s + 4, \quad y = 2s + 1, \quad z = s \] ### Step 2: Set the equations equal to find the intersection Since both lines intersect at point \( P \), we can set the equations equal to each other: \[ 2t + 1 = 5s + 4 \quad (1) \] \[ 3t + 2 = 2s + 1 \quad (2) \] \[ 4t + 3 = s \quad (3) \] ### Step 3: Solve the equations From equation (3): \[ s = 4t + 3 \] Substituting \( s \) into equations (1) and (2): **Substituting into equation (1):** \[ 2t + 1 = 5(4t + 3) + 4 \] \[ 2t + 1 = 20t + 15 + 4 \] \[ 2t + 1 = 20t + 19 \] \[ 2t - 20t = 19 - 1 \] \[ -18t = 18 \implies t = -1 \] **Substituting \( t = -1 \) into equation (3) to find \( s \):** \[ s = 4(-1) + 3 = -4 + 3 = -1 \] ### Step 4: Find the coordinates of point \( P \) Now substituting \( t = -1 \) into the parameterization of the first line: \[ x = 2(-1) + 1 = -2 + 1 = -1 \] \[ y = 3(-1) + 2 = -3 + 2 = -1 \] \[ z = 4(-1) + 3 = -4 + 3 = -1 \] Thus, the point \( P \) is \( (-1, -1, -1) \). ### Step 5: Calculate the distance from point \( P \) to the plane The equation of the plane is: \[ 2x - 3y + 6z = 7 \] To find the distance \( d \) from point \( P(-1, -1, -1) \) to the plane, we use the formula: \[ d = \frac{|Ax_1 + By_1 + Cz_1 + D|}{\sqrt{A^2 + B^2 + C^2}} \] where \( A = 2, B = -3, C = 6, D = -7 \) (from the plane equation rearranged to \( 2x - 3y + 6z - 7 = 0 \)). Substituting \( x_1 = -1, y_1 = -1, z_1 = -1 \): \[ d = \frac{|2(-1) - 3(-1) + 6(-1) - 7|}{\sqrt{2^2 + (-3)^2 + 6^2}} \] Calculating the numerator: \[ = | -2 + 3 - 6 - 7 | = |-12| = 12 \] Calculating the denominator: \[ = \sqrt{4 + 9 + 36} = \sqrt{49} = 7 \] Thus, \[ d = \frac{12}{7} \] ### Step 6: Calculate \( 49\lambda \) Since \( \lambda = \frac{12}{7} \), we find: \[ 49\lambda = 49 \cdot \frac{12}{7} = 7 \cdot 12 = 84 \] ### Final Answer The value of \( 49\lambda \) is \( \boxed{84} \).
