### Vector planes
A **plane** ($\pi$) is a flat surface extending infinitely in all directions and can be represented by a parallelogram.
So long as any of the following are known, their plane can be constructed:
- Two intersecting or parallel lines
- A line and a point not on the line
- 3 non-colinear points
In each scenario, an initial point $r_0$ and two direction vectors $\vec{u},\vec{v}$ can be derived to form the equation for a plane:
$$\vec r = \vec r_0 + s\vec u + t\vec v,s,t\in\mathbb R$$
This can be expanded to form the parametric form of the equation:
$$
x=x_0+su_1+tv_1 \\
y=y_0+xu_2+tv_2 \\
z=z_0+su_3+tv_3,s,t\in\mathbb R
$$
Where $A,B.C.D$ are all integers, the **scalar** or Cartesian equation of a plane in three dimensions can be expressed as follows:
$$Ax+By+Cz+D=0$$
!!! info
$[A,B,C]$ is the **normal direction vector** of a plane.
