https://gyazo.com/c529640d0bde8c60e6098716aa124e19 a) (x,y,z) = (-3/2,0,0) + s(3/2,-1,0)+t(0,1,3) = Parametic Equation  Vector Equation:  x = -3/2+3/2s  y = -s+t  z = 3t  b)  1 = -3/2 + 3/2s  5 = -s+t  6 = 3t  But I don't know how to do it from here. Can someone help? 

Liam:

@Angle

Angle:

honestly, I haven't properly learned this topic before but I think that the equation of a plane is of the form: ax + by + cz = d and the parametric form is: x = n + mt, y = # + #t, z = # + #t etc

Liam:

I know my equations are right, but I don't know how to determine if that point is on the plane.

Angle:

ok in that case, 1 = -3/2 + 3/2s [<-- you can solve for s] 6 = 3t [<-- you can solve for t] 5 = -s+t [<-- you can plug in s and t]

Liam:

Oh right. t = 2 5=-s+2 s = -3 So now what?

Angle:

you can plug in s too?

Angle:

if 5 = 5 then it's true if 5 =/= # then it's not true

Liam:

5 = -(-3)+2 5 = 3+2 5=5 So the point is on the plane. Tysm!! You're so helpful
