16) Hence, the plane meets x, y and z-axes at (a, 0, 0),
(0, b, 0), (0, 0, c), respectively Therefore
Aa + D = 0 or A =
D
a−
Bb + D = 0 or B =
D
b−
Cc + D = 0 or C =
D
c−
Substituting these values in the equation (1) of the
plane and simplifying, we get
x

+
 = 1 (1)
which is the required equation of the plane in the intercept form
