The following plane is in 3- space with equation C1x+C2y+C3Z + C4 = 0 that passes through three noncollinear points (x1,y,21), (x2,y2, 22) and (x3, y3, Z3) is given by the determinant equation x y z 1 = 0. X2 Y2 Z2 1 x3 y3 Z3 1 What does this determinant equation become if the three distinct points are collinear?
