Main Concept

The equation of a plane in  can be given as

where A, B, C, D are parameters.

 

The normal vector to the plane with the above equation is the vector .

 

Two planes and  are perpendicular when their respective normals and  are perpendicular:

 

 

Two planes and  are parallel when their respective normals and  are parallel:

 

 

Change the coefficients of the Cartesian equation of the planes to see how they change. Select the check box to see the normal vectors.
