The line (x−2)/3 = (y−3)/4 = (z−4)/5 intersects the plane 2x + y − z = −2 at a point. What is the z-coordinate of this point?

  • A. 2
  • B. 4
  • C. −1
  • D. 3

Answer: C) −1

Explanation: Put x = 3k+2, y = 4k+3, z = 5k+4. Then 2(3k+2) + (4k+3) − (5k+4) = −2 ⇒ 5k + 3 = −2 ⇒ k = −1, so z = 5(−1) + 4 = −1.
