Vectors II: Lines and Planes

Cartesian and Vector Equation of a Plane

Question

Plane

{p}

is given by the equation

p: \mathbf{r} = \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 3 \\ 5 \end{pmatrix} + \lambda \begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ - 1 \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} + \mu \begin{pmatrix} 4 \\ - 5 \\ 2 \end{pmatrix}, \; \lambda,\mu \in \mathbb{R}.

Express the equation of the plane

{p}

in scalar product form

{\mathbf{r}\cdot \mathbf{n} = k.}

{p: }
