2010 Paper 1 Question 10 Variant

Question

The line

{l}

has equation

\frac{x + 7}{-9} = \frac{y - 1}{9} = \frac{z - 9}{6},

and the plane

{p}

(ii)

Find the coordinates of the point of intersection of

{l}

and

{p.}

[4]

(iii)

Show that the point

{A}

with coordinates

{\left( - 52, 46, 39 \right)}

lies on

{l.}

Find the coordinates of the point

{B}

which is the mirror image of

{A}

{p.}

[3]
