Can anyone help with this worksheet please. I've setup 3 simultaneous equations but am struggling to solve them.

How to draw the points in 3D and the plane also??

Thanks

Jason

Hi,, thanks. What happened to "d". And how would I then plot this plane as well as the 3 points on it?

Thanks

Two of the points are identical (nbrs 2 and 3) so there are an infinite number of planes that could go through them!

You get rid of d by dividing through by your original coefficient of z.
