What to do for (a): multiply the matrix $A$ by $\pmatrix{t\\2t+1\\3t+2}$

and show that the resulting point is in the plane

(which is characterized by sum of components equal $1$).


What to do for (b): multiply the matrix $B$ by $\pmatrix{ x\\y\\1-x-y}$

and show that the resulting point $\pmatrix{X\\Y\\Z}$is on the line

(which is characterized by $X=\dfrac{Y-1}2=\dfrac{Z-2}3$).
