Three dimensions

Distance formula :
The distance between two points   and is

 

Section formula :
Point dividing line joining  and  in ratio is 

{M \equiv \left( {\dfrac{{m{x_2} + n{x_1}}}{{m + n}},\,\,\,\dfrac{{m{y_2} + n{y_1}}}{{m + n}},\,\,\,\dfrac{{m{z_2} + n{z_1}}}{{m + n}}} \right)}    internally
  externally

Direction cosines and direction ratios :

the direction cosines are given by 
 l = \cos \alpha ,\,\,\,m = \cos \beta ,\,\,\,\,n = \cos \gamma  

\Rightarrow\,\,\,\,{{l^2} + {m^2} + {n^2} = 1} 
The direction ratios are simply a set of three real numbers a, b, c proportional to l, m, n, i.e 

\dfrac{l}{a} = \dfrac{m}{b} = \dfrac{n}{c} 
\Rightarrow\,\,\,,\,\,{l =  \pm \dfrac{a}{{\sqrt {{a^2} + {b^2} + {c^2}} }},\,\,\,m =  \pm \dfrac{b}{{\sqrt {{a^2} + {b^2} + {c^2}} }},\,\,\,n =  \pm \dfrac{c}{{\sqrt {{a^2} + {b^2} + {c^2}} }}}

Equation of a plane in intercept form is    

Equation of plane passing through three points :
 
Parametric form:
Vector equation of plane passing through point having position vector  and parallel to and is
 

Non Parametric form:

Distance of a point from a plane :

Vector form:
Point position vector  and plane  

equation of a straight line in space:
Unsymmetrical form of equation of a line:A line can be defined as the intersection of two planes.
 {a_1}x + {b_1}y + {c_1}z + {d_1} = 0 

{a_2}x + {b_2}y + {c_2}z + {d_2} = 0 
The above set of equation represents a line

Symmetric form of equation of line with direction cosines l,m,n and passing trough point A({x_1},{y_1},{z_1}). is :           \dfrac{{x - {x_1}}}{l} = \dfrac{{y - {y_1}}}{m} = \dfrac{{z - {z_1}}}{n} 

Two point form:
line passing through A\left( {{x_1},{y_1},{z_1}} \right) and B\left( {{x_2},{y_2},{z_2}} \right)  is
 \dfrac{{x - {x_1}}}{{{x_2} - {x_1}}} = \dfrac{{y - {y_1}}}{{{y_2} - {y_1}}} = \dfrac{{z - {z_1}}}{{{z_2} - {z_1}}} 


Note :  point P\left( {x,y,z} \right) at a distance r from A\left( {{x_1},{y_1},{z_1}} \right) along the line with direction cosines l, m, n, we have

\dfrac{{x - {x_1}}}{l} = \dfrac{{y - {y_1}}}{m} = \dfrac{{z - {z_1}}}{n} = r
Thus, the coordinates of P can be written as

{x = {x_1} + lr,\,\,\,\,\,y = {y_1} + mr,\,\,\,\,\,z = {z_1} + nr}
