What is the vector equation of the line r= (0, 2, -1) + t(1,0,1), reflected in the plane 2x – y + z – 9 = 0.

Question

anonymous · Answer

would this be a dot product of the <1,0,1> with a vector in the plane?

turingtest · Answer

what do you mean "reflected in the plane"?
do you mean "projected in the plane" or "reflected about the plane"?

amistre64 · Answer

reflect .... yeah, same q lol

poofypenguin · Answer

yes! like those pictures!

amistre64 · Answer

must be fuzzy logic :)

poofypenguin · Answer

more likely the firest one... where P is the plane.

amistre64 · Answer

well, both are doable; but the answer to the q is different depending onwhich is meant :)

amistre64 · Answer

if we know the angle between the line and the plane; we can simply rework it for a reflection thru the plane

the anlge is unknown... the only given information is what i asked in the origninal question... meep...
