The Attempt at a Solution

I obtained:
-3x+7y-6z+14=0 (for the scalar equation).
Is this correct??

 

[jedishrfu]

so you tested it with the given pt? and then using the given pt + the u vector to get a new point and again with the v vector?

 

[NATURE.M]

Yes, I used various points from the parametric equations to test, and it satisfied all. So I feel confident its right. Thanks anyways.

Why "thanks anyways"? If you checked thosed because jedishrfu suggested it, just thank him. If you had already checked, why did you ask?
