Question : 25 of 36
 
Marks: +1, -0
Find the equation of the plane with intercept 3 on the y-axis and parallel to xz - plane.
Solution:
Given that, plane makes an intercept of 3 units on y - axis.
So, it means, plane passes through the point (0,3,0) .
Thus,
⟹a=3j^
Now, Further given that plane is parallel to xz - plane.
So, it means y axis is normal to the surface of plane.
We know, direction ratios of y - axis is ⟨0,1,0⟩ .
So, normal vector to the surface of plane is given by
⟹n=j^
Now, Required equation of plane is given by
râ‹…n=aâ‹…n
On substituting the values, we get
râ‹…j^=3j^â‹…j^
⟹r⋅j^=3
In cartesian form,
⟹(xi^+yj^+zk^)⋅j^=3
⟹y=3
Hence, Required equation of plane is
⟹r⋅j^=3 or y=3
Alternative Method:
As it is given that plane is to parallel to xz plane.
So, Required equation of plane is y=k
Further given that, plane makes an intercept of 3 units on y - axis. So, it means plane passes through (0,3,0).
So,
⟹k=3
Hence, Required equation of plane is
⟹y=3
