There is a single plane that has three non-aligned points.
p 1 = { 0 , 1 , 1 }
p 2 = { 1 , - 1 , 0 }
p 3 = { 1 , 0 , 2 }
p 1 , p 2 , p 2 define two segments
p 2 - p 1 and p 3 - p 1 parallel to the plane which contains p 1 , p 2 , p 3
The normal to them is also the normal to the plane so
n ^ = ( p 2 - p 1 ) × ( p 3 - p 1 ) | ( p 2 - p 1 ) × ( p 3 - p 1 ) | = { - 3 14 , - 2 7 , 1 14 }
