Find the Cartesian equation of the plane passing through the points A(0, 0, 0) and B(3, - 1, 2) and parallel to the line

Equation of a plane is given by:


⇒


Now as the plane is passing through (0,0,0)


⇒


⇒


also the plane is passing through (3,-1,2)


⇒ ..(1)


Given that the Plane is parallel to


⇒ ..(2)
