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
