The correct Answer is:
To find the intercepts of the plane given by the equation \(5x - 3y + 6z - 60 = 0\) on the coordinate axes, we will convert the equation into intercept form and extract the intercepts accordingly. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Rearranging the Equation:** Start with the given equation of the plane: \[ 5x - 3y + 6z - 60 = 0 \] Rearranging it gives: \[ 5x - 3y + 6z = 60 \] 2. **Dividing by the Constant:** To convert this into intercept form, we divide the entire equation by 60: \[ \frac{5x}{60} - \frac{3y}{60} + \frac{6z}{60} = 1 \] Simplifying each term results in: \[ \frac{x}{12} - \frac{y}{20} + \frac{z}{10} = 1 \] 3. **Identifying the Intercepts:** The intercept form of the plane is: \[ \frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{b} + \frac{z}{c} = 1 \] From our equation, we can identify: - The x-intercept \(a = 12\) - The y-intercept \(b = -20\) - The z-intercept \(c = 10\) 4. **Conclusion:** Therefore, the intercepts of the plane on the coordinate axes are: - x-intercept: 12 units - y-intercept: -20 units (indicating it is in the negative direction of the y-axis) - z-intercept: 10 units ### Final Answer: The intercepts of the plane on the coordinate axes are \( (12, -20, 10) \).
