The correct answer is: 2 x+6 y-3 z-42=0

Given,

Distance from origin to the plane d=6 units

And Normal vector N=2i^+6j^-3k^

Unit normal vector n^=NN=2i^+6j^-3k^22+62+32=2i^+6j^-3k^7

Equation of plane in normal form is

r·n^=d

r·2i^+6j^-3k^7=6

Put r=xi^+yj^+zk^

xi^+yj^+zk^·2i^+6j^-3k^=42

2x+6y-3z-42=0.
