I have been trying to get help with this one all day

@Jhannybean ?

OpenStudy (chrisplusian):

Sorry I am stumped and am just reaching out for help

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

You know whats funny,i'm stuck on a similar type of problem.

OpenStudy (chrisplusian):

What is yours? I just don't get this because it seems parametricsed

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Youre going to need to derive the vector from the parameters youve found.

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Do you know how to do that?

OpenStudy (chrisplusian):

I believe I can derive a vector representation of a line but don't I need three points in order to find a "normal" vector? I thought to construct a plane you had to have three points or one point and a normal vector
