Equations of Planes
To identify a line, we need a point & slope...OR...two points !!
To identify a plane, we need a point and two vectors that form a basis for that plane. Therefore....
Note: test for coplaner lines

ex: Determine the "vector" & "parametric" equations of the plane π, that :
a) pass thru (6, 11, 5) with = (1, 3, 4) & = (3, 2, 7)
pass thru A(4, 1, 0), B(3, 2, 5) & C(5, 8, 1)b)
