The general equation of a plane is of the form:

Answer: ax + by + cz + d = 0.

  • A ax + by + cz + d = 0
  • B ax + by = 0
  • C ax<sup>2</sup> + by<sup>2</sup> + cz<sup>2</sup> = 0
  • D x/a = y/b = z/c

Correct answer: A. ax + by + cz + d = 0

Explanation: The general equation of a plane in 3D is ax + by + cz + d = 0, where (a,b,c) is the normal vector to the plane.

zxyOP (x, y, z)

Three mutually perpendicular axes x, y, z meeting at the origin O, with a point P located by its (x, y, z) coordinates.

Concept context

Lines and planes in 3D space, direction cosines, distances, and angles
