Question:

Choose the most appropriate option. 
On the sphere \( (x - 1)^2 + (y + 2)^2 + (z - 3)^2 = 25 \), find the point \( M_0 \) to the plane \( 3x - 4z + 19 \).

Show Hint

The shortest distance from a point to a plane is along the perpendicular line from the point to the plane.

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

We are asked to find the point on the sphere closest to the plane.
This can be done using the distance formula between a point and a plane.
By solving the equation, we find that the correct point is \( (-2, -2, 7) \).
