The correct Answer is:
To determine whether the intercepts made by the plane \(2x - 3y + 5z + 4 = 0\) on the coordinate axes are \(-2\), \(\frac{4}{3}\), and \(-\frac{4}{5}\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the Plane Equation Start with the given equation of the plane: \[ 2x - 3y + 5z + 4 = 0 \] Rearranging gives: \[ 2x - 3y + 5z = -4 \] ### Step 2: Convert to Intercept Form To express this in intercept form, we will isolate the variables. Multiply the entire equation by \(-1\) to make the right side positive: \[ -2x + 3y - 5z = 4 \] Now, divide the entire equation by \(4\): \[ \frac{-2x}{4} + \frac{3y}{4} - \frac{5z}{4} = 1 \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{x}{-2} + \frac{y}{\frac{4}{3}} + \frac{z}{-\frac{4}{5}} = 1 \] ### Step 3: Identify the Intercepts From the equation in intercept form: \[ \frac{x}{-2} + \frac{y}{\frac{4}{3}} + \frac{z}{-\frac{4}{5}} = 1 \] We can identify the intercepts: - The x-intercept \(a = -2\) - The y-intercept \(b = \frac{4}{3}\) - The z-intercept \(c = -\frac{4}{5}\) ### Step 4: Conclusion The intercepts we found are: - x-intercept: \(-2\) - y-intercept: \(\frac{4}{3}\) - z-intercept: \(-\frac{4}{5}\) These match the intercepts given in the question, confirming that the statement is **true**.
