What's this about?

In Vector geometry it is an interesting question how to handle planes. A plane is given through three points (imagin it like you could always place a piece of paper through three points in space). But it is not easy to do calculations with those three points, therefore it is a good idee to put the plane into a mathematically more useful form.

What forms of plane equations exist?

If you got three points, you can put the plane into the parametric form, the coordinate form or the point-normal form. The simplest thing is to put the plane into the parametric form cause you can see the directions from the points. Then you can transform the plane in coordinate form or point-normal form
