Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the equation of the plane passing through the point (1, 2, 3) with normal vector (1, -1, 1)? (2023)
  • Step 1: Identify the point through which the plane passes. This point is (1, 2, 3).
  • Step 2: Identify the normal vector of the plane. The normal vector is (1, -1, 1).
  • Step 3: Use the point-normal form of the equation of a plane, which is given by: a(x - x0) + b(y - y0) + c(z - z0) = 0, where (x0, y0, z0) is the point and (a, b, c) are the components of the normal vector.
  • Step 4: Substitute the values into the equation. Here, a = 1, b = -1, c = 1, and (x0, y0, z0) = (1, 2, 3).
  • Step 5: The equation becomes: 1(x - 1) - 1(y - 2) + 1(z - 3) = 0.
  • Step 6: Simplify the equation: x - 1 - y + 2 + z - 3 = 0.
  • Step 7: Combine like terms: x - y + z - 2 = 0.
  • Step 8: Rearrange the equation to standard form: x - y + z = 2.
