let u = AB=(−4,3,−6) v=(−3,2,−11) . let n vector normal n = u×v = determinant (((−4 3 −6)),((−3 2 −11))) n = (−21,−26,1) . set P(x,y,z) arbitary point in plane. put BP = (x,y−1,z) then the equation of plane is n.BP = 0 −21x−26(y−1)+z = 0 so take x=1,y=k and z = −2 −21.1−26(k−1)−2=0 −21−26k+26−2=0 26k = 3 ⇒ k = (3/(26)) .

determinant ((4,(−3),6),(1,(−1),(−5)),(1,(k−1),(−2)))=0 determinant ((4,(−3),6),(0,1,(26)),(0,k,3))=0 4(3−26k)=0 ⇒k=(3/(26))

$$\begin{vmatrix}{\mathrm{4}}&{−\mathrm{3}}&{\mathrm{6}}\\{\mathrm{1}}&{−\mathrm{1}}&{−\mathrm{5}}\\{\mathrm{1}}&{{k}−\mathrm{1}}&{−\mathrm{2}}\end{vmatrix}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\begin{vmatrix}{\mathrm{4}}&{−\mathrm{3}}&{\mathrm{6}}\\{\mathrm{0}}&{\mathrm{1}}&{\mathrm{26}}\\{\mathrm{0}}&{{k}}&{\mathrm{3}}\end{vmatrix}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\mathrm{4}\left(\mathrm{3}−\mathrm{26}{k}\right)=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{k}=\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{26}} \\ $$
