The Cartesian equation of the plane passing through the point A $(7,8,6)$ and parallel to the XY plane is

The Cartesian equation of the plane passing through the point A $(7,8,6)$ and parallel to the XY plane is
  1. $z=1$
  2. $y=8$
  3. $x=7$
  4. $z=6$

Solution

The required plane passes through the point $(7,8,6)$ and is parallel to XY plane. $\therefore$ It is perpendicular to $\mathrm{z}$ axis and direction ratios of $\mathrm{z}$ axis are $0,0,1$. $\therefore$ Required equation of plane is $0(\mathrm{x}-7)+0(\mathrm{y}-8)+1(\mathrm{z}-6)=0 \Rightarrow \mathrm{z}=6$
