    The equation of the line passing through the point\[(3,0,-4)\]and perpendicular to the plane \[2x-3y+5z-7=0\]is

    A)  \[\frac{x-2}{3}=\frac{y}{-3}=\frac{z+4}{5}\]

    B)  \[\frac{x-3}{2}=\frac{y}{-3}=\frac{z-4}{5}\]

    C)  \[\frac{x-3}{2}=\frac{-y}{3}=\frac{z+4}{5}\]

    D)  \[\frac{x+3}{2}=\frac{y}{3}=\frac{z-4}{5}\]

    E)  \[\frac{x-2}{3}=\frac{y}{3}=\frac{z+4}{5}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Comparing given plane\[2x-3y+5z-7=0\] with the plane\[lx+my+nz+d=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[l=2,m=-3,z=5\] Since, the required line is perpendicular to the given plane. Therefore, these are the direction cosine of the line. \[\therefore \]Equation of line is                 \[\frac{x-3}{2}=\frac{y-0}{-3}=\frac{z+4}{5}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{x-3}{2}=-\frac{y}{3}=\frac{z+4}{5}\]
