Lines & Planes: Vector Forms by James D. Factor
Loading the math board and drawing, please wait…
This example demonstrates the vector forms of lines and planes. Key mathematical concepts include vectors, plane equations, and the distance from a point to a plane. Using GeoGebra commands such as Vector, Plane, and PointIn, the construction of lines and planes is illustrated. Suitable for high school mathematics education and learning.
