Work Step by Step

Given $V = R^3$, $S$ is the subspace consisting of all points lying on the plane with Cartesian equation $$x+4y-3z=0$$ We can rewrite as $x=3z-4y$ Since $dim (A)=dim (R^3) \rightarrow dim(D)=2$ Let take vectors $(1,1,0)$ and $(0,0,1)$ in $S$ then we obtain: $v_1=(3.1-4.0,0,1)=(3,0,1)\\ v_2=(3.0-4.1,1,0)=(-4,1,0)$ Since $v_1,v_2$ are already in $S$, then $v_3=(1,0,0)$ Hence, $(3,0,1),(-4,1,0),(1,0,0)$ is a base for $R^3$
