Intersection of a Plane and a Line

The video tutorial explains how to find the intersection of a plane and a line using parametric equations. It begins by introducing the problem and deriving the parametric equations for the line. The tutorial then visualizes the intersection graphically and proceeds to substitute the line's equations into the plane's equation to solve for the parameter t. Finally, it calculates the coordinates of the intersection point, providing a comprehensive understanding of the process.

What is the equation of the plane in the given problem?
