The correct answer is: 6x+2y+3z=49

Given:

x+3y+2z=9

x9+y3+z92=1

Comparing with the standard form xa+yb+zc=1, we get

a=9x-intercept

b=3y-intercept

c=92z-intercept

So, the normal vector for the required plane is n=9i^+3j^+92k^

a=3i^+5j^+7k^

Equation of required plane,

r·n=a·n

r·9i^+3j^+92k^=3i^+5j^+7k^·9i^+3j^+92k^

r·9i^+3j^+92k^=27+15+632

xi^+yj^+zk^·9i^+3j^+92k^=42+632

9x+3y+92z=1472

3x+y+32z=492

6x+2y+3z=49.
