Given a plane $p_1$ to have the equation $x+2y-3z=0$ with points $B = (0,3,2), M = (1.5,3,2.5)$. Another plane $p_2$ has a perpendicular distance of $0.5$ with $p_1$. State the possible Cartesian equations of $p_2$.



I think I used a wrong way but got the correct answer, I let $Q$ be a point $(x,y,z)$ on $p_2$, and I know $BQ = (x,y-3,z-2)$ then i use length of projection formula to get $$|x+2y-3z| = frac2sqrt14$$



Then I let $x = frac2sqrt14, y = 0, z=0$ to get a point $Q$.

          The plane $p_2$ is parallel to $p_1$ so it is of the form $x+2y-3z=c$.



          The plane $p_1$ passes through the origin so the distance of $p_1$ and $p_2$ is equal to the distance of the origin and $p_2$.



          Distance of a plane $Ax+By+Cz = D$ from the origin is given by $fracDsqrtA^2+B^2+C^2$ so in this case we have



          $$0.5 = d(0, p_2) = fracsqrt1^2+2^2+3^2 = fracsqrt14$$



          so $c = pm fracsqrt142$. Therefore $p_2$ is given by
          $x+2y-3z=pm fracsqrt142$.
