Avg difficulty 2.5
  1. Write a scalar equation of the plane p1p_1 passing through the point (0,2,4)(0, 2, 4) and perpendicular to the vector n⃗=⟨2,−1,1⟩\vn=\langle 2, -1, 1\rangle.

  2. Is the point (2,0,2)(2, 0, 2) on the plane p1p_1?

  3. Write a scalar equation of the plane p2p_2 that is parallel to p1p_1 and passes through the point (3,0,4)(3, 0, 4).

  4. Give parametric equations for the line L\mathcal{L} passing through the point (2,0,2)(2,0,2) and perpendicular to the plane p3p_3 described by the equation x+2y−2z=7x+2y-2z = 7.

  5. Find the point at which L\mathcal{L} intersects p3p_3.
