The correct Answer is:
To find the equation of the plane that passes through the given line and is parallel to the coordinate axes, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the given line The line is represented in symmetric form as: \[ \frac{x-1}{2} = \frac{y-2}{3} = \frac{z-3}{4} \] This indicates that the line passes through the point \( (1, 2, 3) \) and has direction ratios \( (2, 3, 4) \). ### Step 2: Identify the plane's characteristics Since the plane is parallel to the coordinate axes, it will not be inclined towards any of the axes. This means that the plane will have a constant value for one of the coordinates (x, y, or z) while the other two can vary. ### Step 3: Determine the equations of the planes 1. **Plane parallel to the yz-plane**: This plane will have a constant x-coordinate. Since the line passes through the point \( (1, 2, 3) \), the equation of the plane is: \[ x = 1 \] 2. **Plane parallel to the xz-plane**: This plane will have a constant y-coordinate. Again, using the point \( (1, 2, 3) \), the equation of this plane is: \[ y = 2 \] 3. **Plane parallel to the xy-plane**: This plane will have a constant z-coordinate. Using the point \( (1, 2, 3) \) once more, the equation of this plane is: \[ z = 3 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the equations of the planes through the line and parallel to the coordinate axes are: 1. \( x = 1 \) 2. \( y = 2 \) 3. \( z = 3 \)
