(ii) The straight Line cuts yz-plane
So we get x = 0
2t + 6 = 0 ⇒ 2t = -6
t = -3
-3t + 7 = -3 (-3) + 7 = 9 + 7 = 16
5t + 4 = 5(-3) + 4 = -15 + 4 = -11
The required point (0, 16, -11).

Question 9.
Show that the points (2, 3, 4),(-1, 4, 5) and (8, 1, 2) are collinear.
Solution:
Given points are (2, 3, 4), (-1, 4, 5) and (8, 1, 2) Equation of the line joining of the first and second point is
\(\frac{x-2}{-3}=\frac{y-3}{1}=\frac{z-4}{1}\) = m (say)
(-3m + 2, m + 3, m + 4)
On putting m = -2, we get the third point is (8, 1, 2)
∴ Given points are collinear.
