Let u=i-2j+4k
Find the equation of the plane that has a normal u and contains a point (2,3,4).
-------------
Parallel planes normal to u:
x - 2y + 4z = k
-----------------
Sub point
2 - 2*3 + 4*4 = k = 2 -6 +8
k = 4
------------
x - 2y + 4z = 4

equation of plane: ax+by+cz=d ----> is normal vector

Plug in normal vector u=i-2j+4k: ax+by+cz=d ---> x-2y+4z=d

Plug in point (x,y,z)=(2,3,4) ----> 2-2(3)+4(4)=12=d

equation of plane is x-2y+4z=12
