Math Problem Statement
ind an equation of the plane.
the plane through the point (6,2,9) and with normal vector2i +6j +5k
Solution
The equation of a plane can be written in the general form:
where is a point on the plane, and are the components of the normal vector to the plane.
Given the point and the normal vector , the components of the normal vector are , , and .
Substitute these values into the general equation:
Now, simplify the equation:
So, the equation of the plane is:
