Read the line's direction and the plane's normal from the given equations, then apply the standard line-plane angle formula.

Step 1. Data. Direction b⃗=(2,1,−2)\vec b=(2,1,-2); plane r⃗⋅(i^+j^)=−4⇒n⃗=(1,1,0)\vec r\cdot(\hat i+\hat j)=-4\Rightarrow\vec n=(1,1,0).

Step 2. Dot product. b⃗⋅n⃗=(2)(1)+(1)(1)+(−2)(0)=2+1+0=3\vec b\cdot\vec n=(2)(1)+(1)(1)+(-2)(0)=2+1+0=3.

Step 3. Magnitudes. ∣b⃗∣=4+1+4=3,∣n⃗∣=1+1=2|\vec b|=\sqrt{4+1+4}=3,\quad |\vec n|=\sqrt{1+1}=\sqrt2. …
