Write the intercept cut off by the plane 2x + y - z = 5 on the x-axis.
Given :
Equation of plane : 2x + y – z = 5
To Find : Intercept made by the plane with the X-axis.
Formula :
If
is the equation of plane in intercept form then intercept made by it with co-ordinate axes are
X-intercept = a
Y-intercept = b
Z-intercept = c
Answer :
Given equation of plane:
2x + y – z = 5
Dividing above equation throughout by 5
Comparing above equation with
We get,
a = 5/2
Therefore, intercepts made by plane with X-axis are
X-intercept = 5/2
