TopicVectors: Lines & Planes

6 The line \(l\) has equation \(\mathbf { r } = \mathbf { i } + 2 \mathbf { j } - 3 \mathbf { k } + \lambda ( 2 \mathbf { i } - \mathbf { j } + \mathbf { k } )\). The plane \(p\) has equation \(3 x + y - 5 z = 20\).
  1. Show that the line \(l\) lies in the plane \(p\).
  2. A second plane is parallel to \(l\), perpendicular to \(p\) and contains the point with position vector \(3 \mathbf { i } - \mathbf { j } + 2 \mathbf { k }\). Find the equation of this plane, giving your answer in the form \(a x + b y + c z = d\). [5]
