To find the equation of plane P1 , namely ax+by+cz=1:
2a+b =1 a+b+c =1 a+7b+3c =1

which gives a=3/5,b=-1/5,c=3/5 and hence the normal to P1 is the vector (3,-1,3).

This can also be found from the cross product AB × AC =(-1,0,1)×(-1,6,3).

Suppose the plane P2 has equation lx+my+nz=1, then for the planes P1 and P2 to be perpendicular the point V must satisfy this equation. The normal vector to P2 , i.e. (l,m,n) must be perpendicular to (3,-1,3) so 3l-m+3n=0. As A and B are on P2 we have:
2l+m =1 l+m+n =1 3l-m+3n =0

Hence l=1/8, m=3/4 and n=1/8 so the equation of P2 is x+6y+z=8. The coordinates of V must satisfy this equation giving an infinite set of points on the plane P2 .
