Key Concepts

Normal Vector

A normal vector is a vector that is perpendicular to a plane. In the context of a plane's equation, the coefficients of x, y, and z form the components of the normal vector, which is used to determine the orientation of the plane in space.

Dot Product

The dot product is an algebraic operation that takes two equal-length sequences of numbers (usually coordinate vectors) and returns a single number. This number is the sum of the products of the corresponding entries of the two sequences, and it is used to measure the extent to which two vectors point in the same direction.

Orthogonality

Orthogonality refers to the concept of perpendicularity between two vectors. When the dot product of two vectors is zero, it indicates that the vectors are orthogonal, or at right angles, to each other.

Plane in Three-Dimensional Space

A plane in three-dimensional space is a flat, two-dimensional surface that extends infinitely in all directions. It can be defined by a linear equation in the variables x, y, and z, and every vector lying in the plane is contained within it.
