8. Find the equation of a plane which is at a distance 3 √3 units from origin and the normal to which is equally inclined to coordinate axis.
9. If the line drawn from the point (-2, -1,-3) meets a plane at right angle at the point (1, -3, 3), find the equation of the plane.
Sol. Since, the line drawn from the point B(-2, -1,-3) meets a plane a plane at right angle at the point 4(1,-3, 3).
So, the plane passes through the point 4(1, -3, 3)
