Correct answer: A
Step-by-step Solution:
-
Identify the coordinates of P and Q. The point P is given as . Its position vector is . The point Q lies on the line . The position vector of any point Q on this line can be written as: So, the coordinates of Q are .
-
Determine the vector . The vector is found by subtracting the position vector of P from the position vector of Q ().
-
Identify the normal vector to the plane. The equation of the plane is given as . The normal vector to this plane, , is determined by the coefficients of x, y, and z.
-
Apply the condition for parallelism. For the vector to be parallel to the plane, it must be perpendicular to the normal vector of the plane, . The condition for two vectors being perpendicular is that their dot product is zero.
-
Calculate the dot product and solve for . Substitute the expressions for and into the dot product equation: Expand the terms: Combine the terms with and the constant terms:
-
Conclusion. The value of for which the vector is parallel to the given plane is . This corresponds to option A.
