To solve the problem of finding the locus of a point common to the planes through points A, B, and C that are parallel to the coordinate planes, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the variable plane Let the equation of the variable plane that passes through the fixed point \((a, b, c)\) be given by: \[ \frac{x}{\alpha} + \frac{y}{\beta} + \frac{z}{\gamma} = 1 \] where \(\alpha\), \(\beta\), and \(\gamma\) are the intercepts on the x, y, and z axes, respectively. ...
