MHB Is the vector parallel to the plane?

Click For Summary
If a plane contains the line defined by the equation $\overrightarrow{v}_1=\overrightarrow{a}+t\overrightarrow{u}$, then the vector $\overrightarrow{u}$ is indeed parallel to the plane. This conclusion is confirmed by multiple participants in the discussion. The relationship between the line and the plane indicates that the direction of the vector aligns with the plane's orientation. The confirmation of this geometric principle is acknowledged positively by the participants. Understanding this relationship is essential in vector geometry.

Hello! :o

When a plane contains the line $\overrightarrow{v}_1=\overrightarrow{a}+t\overrightarrow{u}$, does this mean that the vector $\overrightarrow{u}$ is parallel to the plane?? (Wondering)
