Homework Statement
Find the vector equation with parameter T that passes through the point (6,0,1) and is perpendicular to the plane x+4y+6z = 5
The Attempt at a Solution
So I'm looking for the direction numbers n (a,b,c) for whatever direction is perpendicular to the plane given x+4y+6z = 5
What if I try to take the dot product of i+4j+6k with xi+yj+zk and solve for when it equals zero. The problem with doing that is there are more than one possible answers that solve that. Also since x+4y+6z = 5 is the linear equation of a plane I'm not even sure I'm thinking about this right at all X_x
