[Math]Plane equation given 3 points
keywords: Math, Plane equation given 3 points
Here’s one way to get the requisite plane:
- Get two different vectors which are in the plane, such as $B−A=(3,0,−3)$ and $C−A=(3,3,3)$.
- Compute the cross product of the two obtained vectors: $(B−A)×(C−A)=(9,−18,9)$. This is the normal vector of the plane, so we can divide it by 9 and get $(1,−2,1)$.
- The equation of the plane is thus $x−2y+z+k=0$. To get k, substitute any point and solve; we get $k=−6$.
The final equation of the plane is $x−2y+z−6=0$.

She would defend herself, saying that love, no matter what else it might be, was a natural talent. She would say: You are either born knowing how, or you never know. ― Gabriel García Márquez, Love in the Time of Cholera
