Q89.Let the plane ax + by + cz + d = 0 bisect the line joining the points (4, โˆ’3, 1) and (2, 3, โˆ’5) at the right angles. If a, b, c, d are integers, then the minimum value of (a2 + b2 + c2 + d2) is

What This Question Tests

This problem involves finding the midpoint of a line segment and determining the direction ratios of the line. These are then used as the normal vector and a point on the plane to establish its equation, ultimately leading to finding integer coefficients and minimizing the sum of their squares.

Concepts Tested

Midpoint formulaDirection ratios of a lineEquation of a planeNormal to a plane

Formulas Used

Midpoint: ((x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2)/2, (z1+z2)/2)

Equation of plane: a(x-x0) + b(y-y0) + c(z-z0) = 0

Direction Ratios: (x2-x1, y2-y1, z2-z1)
