A hint to get started
Find the locus of a fixed-ratio point between a line and a plane
Line l is , and plane p1 has equation , α,β real.
(i) Show l is parallel to p1. mark
(ii) A,B vary independently on l,p1. C lies on segment AB with BC=2AC. Show C lies on a plane as A,B vary. marks
(iii) Calling this plane p2, show its equation is . marks
(iv) Find the perpendicular distance between l,p2. Hence or otherwise find the distance between p1,p2. marks
