How to find sphere equation with center in plane $pi =x-5y+z-2=0$ and tangent to plane $alpha = 2x+3y-4z-1=0 $ at $M(1,1,1)$
Where I've stopped:
Knowing the sphere equation is: $$(X-a)^2 + (Y-b)^2 + (Z-c)^2 = r^2$$
Center of sphere is $C(a,b,c)$ and can be found in plane $pi$
$r^2$ is radius and can be found doing distance from center of sphere to tangent point M ( $d(C,M)$ )
My problem is center point, how can I find this? My first thought was something using plane $pi$ but then plane $alpha$ was given in question and never used.

Hint: Radius and tangent are perpendicular. Where does the perpendicular to $alpha$ at $M$ hit $pi$?
A different way: Parametrize the plane $pi$, then find for which value of the parameters the vector $vecMP$ (with $Pinpi$) is orthogonal to $alpha$.
In projection of M on $alpha$ $M'$ ?

@MihaiPreda Sorry, what? I suggest that you find the line that is orthogonal to $alpha$ at point $M$ and then where this line hits $pi$.

$$MC: (1,1,1)+t(2,3,-4).$$
Let $C(1+2t,1+3t,1-4t).$
Thus,
$$1+2t-5(1+3t)+1-4t-2=0,$$ which gives $t=-frac517,$
$$Cleft(frac717,frac217,frac3717right),$$
$$MC=sqrtfrac725289$$ and the answer is
$$left(x-frac717right)^2+left(y-frac217right)^2+left(z-frac3717right)^2=frac725289.$$

The center of the sphere is the intersection of the plane $pi $ with the line passing through $M$ and perpendicular to $alpha$
The equation of the line passing through M and perpendicular to $alpha$ is $$x=1+2t, y=1+3t, z=1-4t$$
The point of intersection with $pi $ is $$ C(7/17,2/17,37/17)$$which is the center of the sphere.
The radius is simply $CM$ the distance between $C$ and $M$.

$$MC: (1,1,1)+t(2,3,-4).$$
Let $C(1+2t,1+3t,1-4t).$
Thus,
$$1+2t-5(1+3t)+1-4t-2=0,$$ which gives $t=-frac517,$
$$Cleft(frac717,frac217,frac3717right),$$
$$MC=sqrtfrac725289$$ and the answer is
$$left(x-frac717right)^2+left(y-frac217right)^2+left(z-frac3717right)^2=frac725289.$$
