    Deriving the Cartesian Equation of a Plane
    Consider the following diagram:

    Let P0 ( x 0 , y 0 , z 0 ) represent a known point, P ( x , y , z ) represent a general point on the plane and n⃑ =( A , B , C )
    represent a known normal to the plane (nonzero vector perpendicular to all vectors in the plane), then

    Example 1
    The point A (−1 , 2, 0 ) is a point on the plane with normal n⃑ =( 3 ,−2 ,−2 ).
    (a) Determine the scalar equation of this plane.
    (b) Determine where the plane crosses the x -axis.
    (c) Determine any other point on the plan.
