Given plane passes through:
p(5,-1,1), q(9,1,5), r(8,-6,0)

We need to find a plane that is parallel to the plane through all three points, we form the vectors of any two sides of the triangle pqr:
pq=p-q=<5-9,-1-1,1-5>=<-4,-2,-4>
pr=p-r=<5-8,-1-6,1-0>=<-3,5,1>

The vector product pq x pr gives a vector perpendicular to both pq and pr.  This vector is the normal vector of a plane passing through all three points
pq x pr
=
  i   j   k
-4 -2 -4
-3  5  1
=<-2+20,12+4,-20-6>
=<18,16,-26>

Since the length of the normal vector does not change the direction, we simplify the normal vector as
N = <9,8,-13>

The required plane must pass through all three points.
We know that the normal vector is perpendicular to the plane through the three points, so we just need to make sure the plane passes through one of the three points, say q(9,1,5).

The equation of the required plane is therefore
Π :  9(x-9)+8(y-1)-13(z-5)=0
expand and simplify, we get the equation
Π  :  9x+8y-13z=24

Check to see that the plane passes through all three points:
at p: 9(5)+8(-1)-13(1)=45-8-13=24
at q: 9(9)+8(1)-13(5)=81+9-65=24
at r: 9(8)+8(-6)-13(0)=72-48-0=24
So plane passes through all three points, as required.

Fiona solved the equation shown 1/2-1/3(6x-3)=-13/2 what is the missing step of her solution?
V125BC [204]

Answer:

Summation of the non variable Expression within the quality sign

1/2 + 1-2x= -13/2

3/2-2x= -13/2

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2-1/3(6x-3)=-13/2

First step

Using the distributive property to simply

1/2-(6x/3)+(3/3)=-13/2

1/2 -2x +1 = -13/2

Second step

Summation of the non variable Expression within the quality sign

1/2 + 1-2x= -13/2

3/2-2x= -13/2

Third step

Isolating the variable Expression by using the addition property of equality

-2x = -13/2 - 3/2

-2x = -16/2

Fourth step

Isolating the variable by using the division property of equality

-2x = -16/2

X = -16/2 * -1/2

X = -16/-4

X= 4
