    To Find a Line and Plane Intersection Point
    Question: Find the point of intersection of the line containing the points (3,2,1) and (4,3,3) and the plane containing the points (5,4,2), (3,1,6), and (6,5,3). So confused as how to do this particular one, can anyone help at all especially working out, have tried but getting confused? :o/

    First, you need to get the equations of the line and the plane.

    The equation of a line is often written in the form:



    And that of a line is:



    Where <x, y, z> is a coordinate of a point on the line, <i, j, k> is the direction vector of the line, <a, b, c> is the normal vector of the plane.

    Do you know how to get those?

    Do not start a new thread for the same question please NeoDarkmatter.

    And you didn't reply to my question. Realise that this is not a homework service and that downright explanations and answers are not given like that.

    Could you answer my previous question?

    Okay, don't use the comment system either, it makes it quite confusing to follow. Use the answer box at the very bottom instead :)
