Find the equation of the planes in 3-space that pass through the points (2, 3, 1), (2, -1, -1), (1, 2, 1).
Added by Francisco Javier M.
Step 1
Find two vectors that lie in the plane. We can do this by taking the differences between the points: - Vector 1: (2, -1, -1) - (2, 3, 1) = (0, -4, -2) - Vector 2: (1, 2, 1) - (2, 3, 1) = (-1, -1, 0) Show more…
