Am i doing this right?
1. The equation of a plane in space is x + 3y + 2z = 6.
a.) Accurately sketch the plane on the set of axes, showing all your calculations below.
b.) The three planes of the axes and the plane you have sketched create a triangular pyramid. Find the volume of this pyramid, showing the formula you are using and all
calculations below.
for this i got
X+3y+2z=6
X+3 (0)+2 (0)=6
X=6

0+3y+2 (0)=6
6÷3=2
Y=2

0+3 (0)+2z=6
6÷2=3
Z=3
My graph turned out looking like this though.

Yes, this is correct. And I know this figure by half of a tetrahedron. .-. I don't think it's a triangular prism.
Anyway, yeah, to figure out the intercepts of an axis, set the other variables equal to 0. c:

ipwnbunnies · Answer

Not a triangular prism, nvm. Thinking badly. >.<  I guess you can call it a pyramid lol.

anonymous · Answer

did i graph it correctly based on the points then?

ipwnbunnies · Answer

Yesh. :3

anonymous · Answer

okay x) how would  i go about finding the volume?

ipwnbunnies · Answer

You figured out the intercepts of each axis, plotted it, then connected the dots. ^.^
&& Ooo. o.o
I'm not sure how to do that without calculus.

Sowwi. :3

thats okay thanks anyways :)
