Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 1 Concept: The distance of the origin (0, 0, 0) from the plane ax + by + cz + d = 0 is given by \(\rm \left|\frac {(a)(0) +(b)(0) +(c)(0) + d }{\sqrt {a^2+b^2+c^2}}\right|\) Calculation: We know that the distance of the origin (0, 0, 0) from the plane ax + by + cz + d = 0 is given by \(\rm \left|\frac {(a)(0) +(b)(0) +(c)(0) + d }{\sqrt {a^2+b^2+c^2}}\right|\) ⇒ The distance of the origin from the plane 2x + 6y - 3z + 7 = 0 \(=\rm |\frac {(2)(0) +(6)(0) +(-3)(0) + 7 }{\sqrt {2^2+6^2+(-3)^2}}|\) \(=\rm |\frac { 7 }{\sqrt {49}}|\) = 1 Hence, the distance of the origin from the plane 2x + 6y - 3z + 7 = 0 is 1. |
