CPM Homework Help : A2C Problem 7-21

For each of the following equations, find every point where its three-dimensional graph intersects one of the coordinate axes. That is, find the x-, y- and z-intercepts. Express your answer in (x, y, z) form. 7-21 HW eTool (CPM). Homework Help ✎
1. 6y + 15z = 60
2. 3x + 4y + 2z = 24
3. (x + 3)² + z² = 25
4. z = 6

Hint (a):

To find the intercept of a given axis, set all other variables to zero.
For example, the y-intercept will be (0, ?, 0).
To find the y-intercept, let x = 0 and z = 0

more help (a):

Repeat the process to find the z-intercept. (0, 0, ?).

answer (a):

(0, 10, 0) and (0, 0, 4)

Hint (b):

See part (a):

Hint (c):

See part (a).
Note: You will have two x-intercepts and two z-intercepts. Why?

Hint (d):

See part (a):
