Find the equation of the plane passing through the point (2, 4, 6) and making equal intercepts on the coordinate axes.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Any equation of the plane intercepts on the coordinate axes area a,b and c is given by
`x/a+y/b+z/c=1`
As we given here, `a=b=c`
Then,
`x/a+y/a+z/a=1`
`x+y+z=a ldots` (i)
As the plane passes through the given points (2,4,6)
We have,
...
