A Correct answer
Explanation

The equation of a plane that is perpendicular to the line $x = A + Bt$, $y = C + Dt$, $z = E + Ft$ and passes through the point $(x_0, y_0, z_0)$ is given by $A(x - x_0) + B(y - y_0) + C(z - z_0) = 0$, where A, B, and C are the direction numbers of the line.

Multiple choice
