Answer
The equation of the plane through (2,2,−1) is a(x−2)+b(y−2)+c(z+1)=0 ……..(1)
This plane passes through (3,4,2)
a(3−2)+b(4−2)+c(2+1)=0
a+2b+3c=0 ………….(2)
Again plane (1) is parallel to the line whose direction ratios are (7,0,6).
It means that the normal of plane (1) is perpendicular to the line whose direction ratios are (7,0,6).
7a+0b+6c=0 ………..(3)
Solving (1),(2) and (3)
