Find an equation of the plane through the point (1, -5, 3) and perpendicular to the vector (2, -3, -3).

2x - 3y - 3z = 8
We've been given the normal vector to the plane <2, -3, -3> and a point within the plane (1, -5, 3). In general if you've been given both the normal vector <a,b,c> and a point (e,f,g) within the plane, the expression for the plane will be: ax + by + cz = d
and you can compute d by:
d = ae + bf + cg
So let's calculate d:
d = ae + bf + cg
d = 2*1 + -3*-5 + -3*3
d = 2 + 15 + -9
d = 8
And the equation for the plane is 2x - 3y - 3z = 8

Please help !!!!! Explain to me and need answer quick

Answer:

We can see that the denominators of both the numbers is not same

So in order to make it same for the both numbers, we will multiply the second number by 2/2 ,(which is basically 1 so it won't affect our calculations)

$\frac{11}{2^2 * 5^2}$ - $\frac{2}{2^2 * 5^2}$
