Homework Statement
Question is:
Given the vectors a= i - j + 2k and b= 2i + 3j - k, determine the equation of the plane M that contains the vectors a and b and the point P(2,1,-1).
Homework Equations
x = xo + at
y = yo + bt
z = zo + ct
PoP = tv ---> (x-xo)i + (y-yo)j + (z-zo)k = t(ai + bj + ck)
where Po (xo, yo, zo)
P(x, y, z)
The Attempt at a Solution
pt= (2,1,-1)
direction: v = ab= i + 4j - 3k
equation of line:
x=xo + at --> x= 2 + t
y=yo + bt --> y= 1 + 4t
z=zo + ct --> z= -1 - 3t
and that's where I get stuck, and I don't know how to continue.
The answer is -x + y + z = -2.
I am unsure how to get to that answer.
Got the answer nevermind.
