A plane makes intercepts –6, 3, 4 respectively on the coordinate axes. Find the length of the perpendicular from the origin on it.

The equation of the plane which makes intercepts a, b, and c with the x, y , and z axis respectively is :



Putting the values of a, b and c


Required equation of the plane:



–2x + 4y + 3z = 12


We know, the distance of point (x1,y1,z1) from the plane


is given by:



Distance from the origin i.e. (0, 0, 0) :


Required Distance =


The length of the perpendicular from the origin on the plane = units
