Dividing both sides of equation (1) by 5, we obtain
It is known that the equation of a plane in intercept form is , where a, b, c are the intercepts cut off by the plane at x, y, and z axes respectively.
Therefore, for the given equation,
Thus, the intercepts cut off by the plane are

(a) The equation of the plane is
The direction ratios of normal are
Dividing both sides of equation (1) by 1, we obtain
This is of the form , where l, m, n are the direction cosines of normal to the plane and d is the distance of the perpendicular drawn from the origin.
Therefore, the direction cosines are 0, 0, and 1 and the distance of the plane from the origin is 2 units.
(b)
The direction ratios of normal are 1, 1, and 1.
Dividing both sides of equation (1) by , we obtain
This equation is of the form , where l, m, n
