Converting coordinates Points to Slope Intercept Form?

230 Views Asked by At

Write the equation of the plane in intercept form and find the points where it intersects the coordinate axes. $4x + 5y − 6z = 60.$

Is there a way to algebraically using y = mx+b to convert this to this form? I am confused as to how to convert this since this has z coordinate.

Intercept form is $\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}+\frac{z}{c}=1$ from which the intercepts can be read off as $(a,0,0)$, etc.

In your case, dividing through by $60$ will get the needed $1$ on the right hand side.
