The correct Answer is:
To find the point where the line given by the equation \[ \frac{x-1}{2} = \frac{y-2}{-3} = \frac{z+3}{4} \] meets the plane defined by \[ 2x + 4y - z = 1, \] we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Parameterize the line We can express the line in terms of a parameter \( \lambda \). From the equation of the line, we can write: \[ x = 2\lambda + 1, \] \[ y = -3\lambda + 2, \] \[ z = 4\lambda - 3. \] ### Step 2: Substitute into the plane equation Next, we substitute these expressions for \( x \), \( y \), and \( z \) into the plane equation: \[ 2x + 4y - z = 1. \] Substituting the parameterized values, we get: \[ 2(2\lambda + 1) + 4(-3\lambda + 2) - (4\lambda - 3) = 1. \] ### Step 3: Simplify the equation Now, we simplify the left-hand side: \[ 4\lambda + 2 - 12\lambda + 8 - 4\lambda + 3 = 1. \] Combining like terms: \[ (4\lambda - 12\lambda - 4\lambda) + (2 + 8 + 3) = 1, \] \[ -12\lambda + 13 = 1. \] ### Step 4: Solve for \( \lambda \) Now, we solve for \( \lambda \): \[ -12\lambda = 1 - 13, \] \[ -12\lambda = -12, \] \[ \lambda = 1. \] ### Step 5: Find the coordinates of the point Now that we have \( \lambda = 1 \), we substitute this back into the parameterized equations for \( x \), \( y \), and \( z \): \[ x = 2(1) + 1 = 3, \] \[ y = -3(1) + 2 = -1, \] \[ z = 4(1) - 3 = 1. \] Thus, the point where the line meets the plane is \[ (3, -1, 1). \] ### Final Answer The point where the line meets the plane is \[ \boxed{(3, -1, 1)}. \]
