the plane is parallel to another plane 2 x − 2 y + z = 0 which mean that it also have similar form but gotta be added with a constant c . we can say that the equation of our plane is 2 x − 2 y + z + c = 0 .
to get the value of c, we substitute a point that's passed by the plane : substitue ( 1 , − 2 , 3 ) to 2 x − 2 y + z + c = 0 , we get c = − 9 .
now let's count the distance between a point ( − 1 , 2 , 0 ) to the plane 2 x − 2 y + z − 9 = 0 using the formulation:
d = ∣ a 2 + b 2 + c 2 a ∗ x 0 + b ∗ y 0 + c ∗ z 0 + d ∣ where ( x 0 , y 0 , z 0 ) is the coordinate of the point.
by doing it,we get: d = 5
