If the given points are then the equation of the plane passing through these three points is given by the following equation.

Now substitute the values given

Now apply the determinant

– 21x + 42 – 9y + 9 + 3z = 0

– 21x – 9y + 3z + 51 = 0

– 3(7x + 3y – z – 17 = 0)

7x + 3y – z – 17 = 0

This is the equation of the plane.
