A plane passing through (-1,2,3) and whose normal makes equal angles with the coordinate axes is
Options
- Ax+y+z+4=0
- Bx-y+z+4=0
- Cx+y+z-4=0
- Dx+y+z=0
Correct answer
C. x+y+z-4=0
Step-by-step solution
A plane passing through the point (-1,2,3) , then its equation is a(x+1)+b(y-2)+c(z-3)=0 where a, b, c are direction ratios of normal to the plane A B C . So, the normal makes equal angles with coordinate axes i.e., (a, b, c)= ( 1 3 , 1 3 , 1 3 ) Now, from Eq. (i), array cc 1 3 (x+1)+ 1 3 (y-2)+ 1 3 (z-3)=0 x+y+z-4 & =0 array
