Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the equation of a plane passing through the point (1, 2, 3) with normal vector (1, 1, 1)? (2022)
  • Step 1: Identify the point through which the plane passes. The 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, x0 = 1, y0 = 2, z0 = 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 - 6 = 0.
  • Step 8: Rearrange the equation to standard form: x + y + z = 6.
