Question:
Plane through $(0,-1,2)$ and $(-1,2,1)$, parallel to line through $(5,1,-7)$ and $(1,-1,-1)$. Which point lies on it?
$(-2,5,0)$
$(1,-2,1)$
$(2,0,1)$
$(0,5,-2)$
Step-by-Step Solution
Key Concept: Two points give one vector in plane. Line direction gives another. Normal $=$ their cross product. Find plane equation.
$(-2,5,0)$.
Correct Answer: 1
