< 4, −1, −2 > is: 4(x − 0) − 1(y − 2) − 2(z − (−3)) = 0. Or more simply:

(the normal vector of the given plane) call it < 3k, k, −2k >. Then the plane equation passing
through the point (1, 2, 3) and having normal < 3k, k, −2k > is:
3k(x − 1) + k(y − 2) − 2k(z − 3) = 0 more simply: 3x + y − 2z = −1.

Then the plane equation passing through the point (1, 1, 0) and having normal < −7, −5, 1 >
is:

Exc 10.4 no 9) The line x + y = 2 and y − z = 3 has parametric equations x = −k + 2, y = k and z = k − 3.

This line is on the plane so the direction vector of this line=< −1, 1, 1 > is also on the
plane. The normal vector of the plane that we want to find is both perpendicular to the
vectors < −1, 1, 1 > and < 2, 3, 4 >(the normal

Then the plane equation passing through the point (2, 0, −3)(put k = 0 in the parametric line
equation, since plane passes through the line, the point is on the plane) and having normal

have respective normals n1 = i + j + k and n2 = 2i − j − 5k
Thus, a direction vector of their line of intersection is v = n1 × n2 = −4i + 7j − 3k
Now, we only need to find one point in this line of intersection. By letting z=0, by elimination
we get x = 13 and y = − 31 . Hence, the point r0 = ( 13 , − 31 , 0) is on the line.
