" X-intercept="-6," Y-intercept="18," & Z-intercept="-9. X-intercept=6, Y-intercept=18, & Z-intercept=9.

Explanation:

Let us realise that the given eqn. represents a plane, say pi.π.

The eqn. of a plane having the intercepts a,b,ca,b,c on the Axes, is,

x/a+y/b+z/c=1................(ast).

So, to determine the intercepts of pi, let us convert in the (ast) form.

3x-y+2z=-18.

:. (3x-y+2z)/-18=1, i.e., x/-6+y/18+z/-9=1.

rArr" X-intercept="-6," Y-intercept="18," & Z-intercept="-9.
