Find the equation of the plane with normal to the equation x
Find the equation of the plane with normal to the equation x + 2y + 3z = 0 and intersect with point (2, 3, 5).
Solution
given the plane equation is x+2y+3z=0
and intersecting point is (2,3,5)
Key point:
A plane with normal vector (n1,n2,n3) has equation
n1 x + n2 y +n3 z= k
for some k.
here (n1,n2,n3) is (1,2,3)
1 x + 2 y + 3 z= k is intersecting at point(2,3,5)
so plug the point to find the value of k
2 +2(3) +3(5) =k
2+6+15 =k
k = 21+2
k=23
the normal form of equation is x+2y+3z = 23
