It is touched upon in session 12, in the second reading and examples pdf. http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mathematics/18-02sc-multivariable-calculus-fall-2010/part-b-matrices-and-systems-of-equations/session-12-equations-of-planes-ii/MIT18_02SC_notes_6.pdf

Thank you!  That wasn't the depth of detail or video discussion I was hoping for, but I've since satisfied my curiosity and filled in my understanding, finding two approaches I like, neither of which was in my own text.  I'm glad to know that the topic gets SOME mention though.
