Write the equation of the plane whose intercepts on the coordinate axes are `-4,2a n d3` respectively.

A

`3x+6y+4z=12`

B

`-3x+6y+4z=12`

C

`-3x-6y-4z=12`

D

none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

We know that the equation of a plane whose intercepts on the coordinate axes are a,b, and c respectively, is
`x/a+y/b+z/c=1`
Here `a=-4,b=2` and `c=3`
So the equation of the required plane is
`x/(-4)+y/2+z/3=1` or `-4x+6y+4z=12`
