Answer:

Option A is correct.

$2x + 3y +z = 6$

Step-by-step explanation:

The intercept form of the equation of plane is given by:

$\frac{x}{l}+\frac{y}{m} +\frac{z}{n} =1$ .....[1]

where

l is the intercept of x-axes

m is the intercept of y-axes and

n is the intercept of z-axes respectively;

From the given figure;

we have;

The intercepts of coordinates axes are;

$l = 3$

$m = 2$

$n = 6$

Substitute these values in the equation [1]; we have;

$\frac{x}{3}+\frac{y}{2} +\frac{z}{6} =1$

Taking LCM of 3, 2 and 6 is 6

$2x + 3y +z = 6$

therefore, the equation of plane that contains the triangle as shown in the diagram is, $2x + 3y +z = 6$

In the diagram, point D divides line segment AB in the ratio of 5:3. If line segment AC is vertical and line segment CD is horiz

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

C (2, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

C has the same x coordinate as A = 2

that eliminates A and B.

and the y value of C has to be closer to the y value of B than to the y value of A (due to the 5:3 ratio).

so, without spending unnecessary effort on actual calculation, we can directly derive the correct answer to be C.

but to show in numbers, the "coordinate triangle" of the difference between D and B is a similar triangle to ACD. and so, the ratio of one side pair applies then to all other sides too. including the individual coordinate differences.

so, also the y difference of A to D relates to the y difference between D and B in the same ratio of 5:3 of the overall y difference of A to B.

the y difference A to B is 2 - -6 = 8

the 5/3 split of 8 units is actually 5 and 3.

so, the y coordinate of D is -6 + 5 = -1

and C must have the same y coordinate.

therefore, it is proven that answer C (2, -1) is the right answer.
