The intercept form of a plane is x/a + y/b + z/c = 1. Here a, b, c are:

Answer: x, y, z intercepts.

  • A Direction cosines
  • B x, y, z intercepts
  • C Slopes
  • D Coordinates of origin

Correct answer: B. x, y, z intercepts

Explanation: In the intercept form x/a + y/b + z/c = 1, the constants a, b, c are the x-intercept, y-intercept, and z-intercept of 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
