It is required to find the equation of a plane $Q$ formed by point $B\,(5,2,0)$ and the line (d) of parametric equation
$$ \begin{align} x&=-2t+1\\ y&=2t-2 \\ z&=t \end{align}$$
What is the easiest way to find the equation ? Answer is: $x-y+4z-3 = 0$
I think the easiest way is to find the value of following determinant:
$$\begin{vmatrix} (x-5) & (y-2) & (z-0)\\ 4 & 4 & 0\\ -2 &2 & 1 \end{vmatrix}=0$$ Note that the point $(-1,-2,0)$ is a point lying on the line and the vector $\langle -2,2,1\rangle$ is the leading vector for the line.
