Having difficulty with this problem:
Find equations for two orthogonal planes, both of which contain the line $\mathbf{v}=(1,0,3) + t(-1,2,1)$, one of which passes through the origin.

Let the plane passes through the origin be $\Pi_{1}: \: ax+by+cz=0$
Now $$(a,b,c)\cdot (-1,2,1)=0$$
$$-a+2b+c=0$$
Also $\Pi_{1}$ contains $(1,0,3)$,
$$a+3c=0$$
Therefore $$a:b:c=3:2:-1$$
Now another plane with normal parallel to $$(3,2,-1)\times(-1,2,1)=(4,-2,8)$$
Let $\Pi_{2}: \: 2x-y+4z=d$ and $\Pi_{2}$ contains $(1,0,3)$
$$2(1)-0+4(3)=d$$
