Equation of plane passing through points  (x_1 ,y_1 ,z_1 );(x_2 ,y_2 ,z_2 ); (x_3 ,y_3 ,z_3 ) is    determinant (((x−x_1      y−y_1       z−z_1 )),((x_2 −x_1    y_2 −y_1     z_2 −z_1 )),((x_3 −x_1    y_3 −y_1     z_3 −z_1 )))= 0  so we get equation of plane is    determinant (((x+1     y−2      z+3)),((    1           −6         1 )),((    2             1            7)))= 0  (x+1)(−43)−(y−2)(5)+(z+3)(13) = 0  −43x−43−5y+10+13z+39 = 0  ⇒43x+5y−13z−6=0  We want to compute the distance of   point (2,1,−2) to plane 43x+5y−13z−6=0  by the formula ⇒d = ((∣43(2)+5(1)−13(−2)−6 ∣)/( (√(43^2 +5^2 +(−13)^2 ))))  ⇒d = ((111)/( (√(2043))))
