A point (2, alpha, beta) lies on a plane that passes through (3, 4, 2) and (7, 0, 6) and is perpendicular to the plane 2x - 5y = 15. Find the value of 2*alpha - 3*beta.

  1. 2*alpha - 3*beta = 17
  2. 2*alpha - 3*beta = 7
  3. The plane passes through (0, 4, -3)
  4. The plane passes through (0, 0, 0)

Correct answer: 2*alpha - 3*beta = 7

Solution

The direction along the two points and the normal of the perpendicular plane together define the normal to our plane. Using these, the plane equation gives 2*alpha - 3*beta = 7.
