Answer:

The x-intercept is 2/3 and the y-intercept is -1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, we need to note that the x-intercept is the value of x, when y = 0. So we plug in y = 0 and see what the x value is.

3x - 6y = 2

3x - 6(0) = 2

3x = 2

x = 2/3

The y-intercept is the opposite. It is the y value when x = 0. So we do the same with the other term.

3x - 6y = 2

3(0) - 6y = 2

-6y = 2

y = -2/6

y = -1/3

The three vectors $\langle0,0,1\rangle$ , $\langle1,0,8\rangle$ , and $\langle0,1,9\rangle$ each terminate on the plane. We can get two vectors that lie on the plane itself (or rather, point in the same direction as vectors that do lie on the plane) by taking the vector difference of any two of these. For instance,

$\langle1,0,8\rangle-\langle0,0,1\rangle=\langle1,0,7\rangle$

$\langle0,1,9\rangle-\langle0,0,1\rangle=\langle0,1,8\rangle$

Then the cross product of these two results is normal to the plane:

$\langle1,0,7\rangle\times\langle0,1,8\rangle=\langle-7,-8,1\rangle$

Let $(x,y,z)$ be a point on the plane. Then the vector connecting $(x,y,z)$ to a known point on the plane, say (0, 0, 1), is orthogonal to the normal vector above, so that
