Consider the point P(x_0, y_0, z_0) We have already found the equation of a line that contains mypoint and the origin. We have also found an equation of a line thatcontains my point and the point (1, -1, 1). Find an equation of the plane that contains the two lines you have just found.

ok, take the two lines and take the cross product
that will give you the normal vector
then use the point that is on the plane in the equation
A ( x x 0 ) + B ( y y 0 ) + C ( z z 0 ) = 0
