The equation of a plane passing through the points
A(1,2,4), B(-1,2,-3) and C(3,5,-1) is determined by finding the vectors `vec(AB)` and
`vec(AC)`
`vec(AB)` = (-1-1)i + (2 - 2)j + (-3 - 4)k = -2i
-7k
`vec (AC)` = (3 - 1)i + (5 - 2)j + (-1-4)k = 2i + 3j -
5k
The normal vector n = `vec (AB)xx vec(AC)` = i(21) -
j(10 + 14) + k(-6) = 21i - 24j - 6k
The equation of the
plane in normal form is 21(x - 1) - 24(y - 2) - 6(z - 4) =
0
The equation of the plane can be converted to normal form
as follows:[x,y,z]=[3,6,7] + s[4,-5,1] +
t[3,-1,-1]
`<4, -5, 1>xx<3, -1,
-1>` = 6i + 7j + 11k
The equation of the plane is
6(x - 3) + 7(y - 6) + 11(z - 7) = 0
The cross product of
21i - 24j - 6k and 6i + 7j + 11k is 222i + 267j -
291k.
The direction vector of the line of
intersection of the given planes is 222i + 267j -
291k.
