Find the vector equation of each one of the following planes:

i. 2x – y + 2z = 8


ii. x + y – z = 5


iii. x + y = 3

i. The given equation of the plane is 2x – y + 2z = 8


This is in Cartesian form, to convert this to vector form, this can be done as shown below:



We know


Hence the above equation becomes,



The vector equation of the plane whose Cartesian form 2x – y + 2z = 8 is given is


ii. x + y – z = 5


This is in Cartesian form, to convert this to vector form, this can be done as shown below:



We know


Hence the above equation becomes,
