Calculus 3: Equations of lines and planes

Find the vector equation, parametric equations, and symmetric equations for the line that passes through the points (1,3,2)(1, 3, -2) and (4,1,5)(4, 1, 5).

Find the equation of a plane given the three points P(2, 1, 4), Q(4, -2, 7), and R(5, 3, -2).

Given a point P0=(1,2,3)P_0 = (1, 2, 3) and a normal vector n=(4,5,6)\mathbf{n} = (4, 5, 6), find the equation of the plane in component form.

Find the parametric and symmetric equations of a line in space given two points.

Parametrize the plane given by the equation 2x3y+z=62x - 3y + z = 6 using two parameters uu and vv.
