Find the point M′ symmetric to the point M with respect to the plane.
M(3;3;3)
8x+6y+8z−22=0
Official solution
## Solution
Let's find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the given plane and passes through point M. Since the line is perpendicular to the given plane, we can take the normal vector of the plane as its direction vector:
s=n={8;6;8}
Then the equation of the desired line is:
8x−3=6y−3=8z−3
Let's find the point M0 of intersection of the line and the plane.
We write the parametric equations of the line.
8x−3=6y−3=8z−3=t⇒⎩⎨⎧x=3+8ty=3+6tz=3+8t
Substitute into the equation of the plane:
8(3+8t)+6(3+8t)+8(3+8t)−22=0
24+64t+18+48t+24+64t−22=0
176t+44=0
t=−0.25
Find the coordinates of the intersection point of the line and the plane:
