Solution
Dear student,
We
know
that
equation
of
a
plane
passing
through
the
point
x
1
,
y
1
,
z
1
and
having
direction
ratios
of
the
normal
to
the
plane
as
a
,
b
,
c
is
a
x
-
x
1
+
b
y
-
y
1
+
c
z
-
z

=
0
Now

Now
,
the
given
equation
of
the
line
is
x

Now
,
the
line
2
passes
through
-
1
,
3
,
-
2
and
having
direction
ratios
-
3
,
2
,

.
Since
the
plane
1
contains
the
line
2
,
then
plane
1
must
pass
through
-
1
,
3
,
-
2
.
Now
,
from
1
,
we
get
a
-
1
-
0
+
b
3
-
7
+
c
-
2
+
7
=
0
⇒
-
a
-

c
=

⇒
a
+

b
-

c
=

Since
plane
1
contains
the
line
2
,
line
is
parallel
to
the
plane
.
Now
,
-

c
=

Solving
3
and
4
by
cross
multiplication
,
a
4
+
10
=
b
15
-
1
=
c
2
+
12
Let
a
14
=
b
114
=
c
14
=
k
⇒
a
=
b
=
c
=
k
Now
,
from
1
,
we
get
k
x
-
0
+
k
y
-
7
+
k
z
+
7
=
0
⇒
x
+
y
+
z
=
0
