Find the direction cosines of the normal to the plane 3x + 4 = 0.

Given :


Equation of plane : 3x + 4 = 0


To Find : Direction cosines of the normal i.e.


Formula :


1) Direction cosines :


If a, b & c are direction ratios of the vector then its direction cosines are given by





Answer :


For the given equation of plane


-3x = 4


Direction ratios of normal vector are (-3, 0, 0)





= 3


Therefore, direction cosines are
