Question 14 Find the coordinates of the point where the line (𝑥 + 3)/3 = (𝑦 − 1)/(−1) = (𝑧 − 5)/(−5) cuts the XY Plane. If line (𝑥 + 3)/3 = (𝑦 − 1)/(−1) = (𝑧 − 5)/(−5) cuts the XY Plane Then z = 0 So, let coordinates of point be (x, y, 0) Now, (𝑥 + 3)/3 = (𝑦 − 1)/(−1) = (𝑧 − 5)/(−5) = k Thus, x = 3k − 3, y = −k + 1, z = −5k + 5 Since z = 0 −5k + 5 = 0 5k = 5 k = 5/5 k = 1 Now, x = 3k − 3 = 3(1) − 3 = 0 y = −k + 1 = −1 + 1 = 0 Thus, Coordinates of Point are (0, 0, 0)
