Distance between the line
equation of plane is x + 5y + z = 5 ∴ Distance of line from this plane = perpendicular distance of point (2, -2, 3) from the plane

Let A (2, –3) and B(–2, 1) be vertices of a triangle ABC. If the centroid of this triangle moves on the line 2x + 3y = 1, then the locus of the vertex C is the line
2x + 3y = 9
2x – 3y = 7
3x + 2y = 5
3x + 2y = 5
A line makes the same angle θ, with each of the x and z-axis. If the angle β, which it makes with y-axis, is such that sin2β = 3sin2θ , then cos2θ equals
