Answer

$x+y+z=4$

Work Step by Step

Write the parametric equations as follows: $x=1+t; y=3-2t; z=0+t$ The normal vector can be written as: $\lt 1,-2, 1 \gt \times \lt 1,1, -2 \gt=\lt -2(-2)-(1)(1), (1)(1)-(1) (-2), (-2)(1) \gt=\lt 3,3,3 \gt$ Now, we will write the equation of a plane as follows: $3(x-0)+3(y-5) +3( z-(-1))=0$ $\implies 3x+3y-15+3z+3=0$ $\implies x+y+z=4$
