The equation of the plane containing the straight line and perpendicular to the plane containing the straight lines and is:
- (A)
- (B)✓ Correct
- (C)
- (D)
Answer: (B)
Solution
The required plane holds the line , direction , and must be perpendicular to the plane of the lines with directions and . The normal of that second plane is . The wanted plane contains and has this vector lying in it, so its own normal is , i.e. after dividing by . Since the line passes through the origin, the plane is .
