General Equation of a plane is : a x + b y + c z = d. --- (1)
here a, b, c, d are real coefficients.
=====================================
usually the same symbols a,b,c are used to represent equations.
In intercept form it is simpler : x / a + y / b + z / c = 1 --- (2)
where a , b and c are intercepts of the plane on x , y and z axes.
Coefficients a,b, c in eq (1) and eq (2) are related by ratios.
here a, b, c, d are real coefficients.

Anonymous:
coinciding variables are confusing with the two forms
Accordingly comparing with the general form it shows that a = b = c = root(d)
both equations are different. you cannot equate "a", "b", "c" in the first equation with that in the second equation.
same symbols are used in many equations. does not mean that they have same meaning.
sir,s answer is right

general equation of a line is
ax + by + cz = d
in intercept form
x/(d/a) + y/(d/b)+z/(d/c) = 1
with intercept of d/a , d/b , d/c on x-axis , y-axis and z- axis respectively.
ax + by + cz = d
in intercept form
x/(d/a) + y/(d/b)+z/(d/c) = 1
with intercept of d/a , d/b , d/c on x-axis , y-axis and z- axis respectively.
good answer.
