Let the equation of a plane passing through (3,2,0) bea(x−3)+b(y−2)+c(z−0)=0 ..(1)The line x−31=y−65=z−44passes through the point (3,2,0) and has direction ratios 1,5,4.If (1) contains the lines, it must pass through (3,6,4) and must be parallelto the line.Therefore,a(3−3)+b(6−2)+c(4−0)=0⇒4b+4c=0⇒b+c=0 ...(2)and a+5b+4c=0 ...(3)On solving (2) and (3), we geta=c and b=−cSo, From eq (1), we getc(x−3)−c(y−2)+c(z−0)=0⇒c[(x−3)−(y−2)+z]=0⇒(x−3)−(y−2)+z=0⇒x−y+z−1=0⇒x−y+z=1 is the required equation of plane.

Let the equation of plane passing through (3,2,0) is

a(x-3) + b(y-2) + c(z-0) = 0

x-3/1 = y-6/5 = z-4/4

Pass through (3,2,0) and has direction ratios as 1,5,4

If the equation of plane contains this, it should pass from

(3,6,4) and parallel to (1,5,4)

Hence

a(3-3) + b(6-2) + c *4 = 0

4b + 4c = 0

b +c = 0

And

a + 5b +4 c = 0

On solving these two equations

a = c & b= -c

Hence equation of plane will be

c(x-3) - c(y-2) +cz = 0

x-3 -y +2 +z= 0

x - y +z -1 = 0

x -y +z = 1

Dear Student,
Please find below the solution to your problem.

Let the equation of plane passing through (3,2,0) is
a(x-3) + b(y-2) + c(z-0) = 0
x-3/1 = y-6/5 = z-4/4
Pass through (3,2,0) and has direction ratios as 1,5,4
If the equation of plane contains this, it should pass from (3,6,4) and parallel to (1,5,4)
Hence
a(3-3) + b(6-2) + c *4 = 0
4b + 4c = 0
b +c = 0
And
a + 5b +4 c = 0
On solving these two equations
a = c & b= -c
Hence equation of plane will be
c(x-3) - c(y-2) +cz = 0
x-3 -y +2 +z= 0
x - y +z -1 = 0
x -y +z = 1

Thanks and Regards
