Let A be the point with coordinates (0, -4, -1), let B be the point with coordinates (4, 0, 1), let C be the midpoint of the line segment AB, let D be the point with coordinates (1,0,0), and let E be the point with coordinates (0,1,0). Let II be the plane passing through the three points C,D,E. Suppose that the line 2x - 5 = 2y - 5 = 2z - 5 intersects the plane II at the point P. Write down the x-coordinate of P.

Question

So, for example, if you find that P has coordinates (2.5, 5, 5) then you should enter 2.5 as your answer. Please enter the answer numerically in decimal format. the answer will be  correct as long as the answer is within 0.25 of the correct answer.]

Let A be the point with coordinates (0, -4, -1), let B be the point with coordinates (4, 0, 1), let C be the midpoint of the line segment AB, let D be
the point with coordinates (1,0,0), and let E be the point with coordinates (0,1,0). Let II be the plane passing through the three points C,D,E.
Suppose that the line 2x - 5 = 2y - 5 = 2z - 5 intersects the plane II at the point P. Write down the x-coordinate of P.
