The correct Answer is:
To find the equation of the plane passing through the points \( (2,0,0) \), \( (0,3,0) \), and \( (0,0,4) \), we can use the general form of the equation of a plane that intersects the coordinate axes at points \( (a,0,0) \), \( (0,b,0) \), and \( (0,0,c) \). The equation of such a plane is given by: \[ \frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{b} + \frac{z}{c} = 1 \] ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the intercepts**: - The plane passes through the points \( (2,0,0) \), \( (0,3,0) \), and \( (0,0,4) \). - Here, \( a = 2 \), \( b = 3 \), and \( c = 4 \). 2. **Substitute the values into the equation**: - Substitute \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \) into the plane equation: \[ \frac{x}{2} + \frac{y}{3} + \frac{z}{4} = 1 \] 3. **Multiply through by the least common multiple (LCM)**: - The LCM of the denominators \( 2, 3, \) and \( 4 \) is \( 12 \). - Multiply the entire equation by \( 12 \) to eliminate the fractions: \[ 12 \left( \frac{x}{2} \right) + 12 \left( \frac{y}{3} \right) + 12 \left( \frac{z}{4} \right) = 12 \] - This simplifies to: \[ 6x + 4y + 3z = 12 \] 4. **Final equation of the plane**: - Rearranging gives us the final equation of the plane: \[ 6x + 4y + 3z - 12 = 0 \] ### Final Answer: The equation of the plane is: \[ 6x + 4y + 3z - 12 = 0 \]
