Given a plane and a point not on the plane , find a line containing the point and parallel to the given plane Geometry
Added by Dylan H.
Step 1
Find the normal vector of the given plane. This can be done by taking any two non-parallel vectors in the plane and taking their cross product. Let's call this normal vector N. Show more…

Lines and Planes in Space
Determine whether the given line is parallel to, intersects, or lies in the given plane. If the line is parallel to the plane, calculate its distance from the plane. If the line intersects the plane, find the point and angle at which they intersect. $$\mathbf{r}(t)=\langle 3-2 t,-4,5-4 t\rangle \text { and } 2 x+5 y-z=7$$
