    Equation of a plane through 2 points, parallel to a line.

    Thank you so much. Taking the cross product does lead to the normal vector he eventually arrived at. I still don't understand exactly what algebraic manipulations he was performing to get there his way, but as long as I have some way of arriving at the correct answer, I'll be happy. Thanks again.

    Homework Statement I'm trying to understand my professor's solution to a quiz problem. I can follow it up to a point, but then I'm getting confused as to how he continues. The question is: Find an equation of the plane p through A(2,1,-1) and B(1,5,-4) parallel to the line L: x=1 + 2t, y=-1+t...
