Answer

$x+y-z=-7$

Work Step by Step

The general form of the equation of the plane is: $a(x-x_0)+b(y-y_0)+c(z-z_0)=0$ or, $ax+by+cz=ax_0+by_0+cz_0$ The required equation of the required plane is of the form: $z=x+y+k$ Put $x=3,y=-2, z=8$ and solve for $k$. After simplification, we get $8=3-2+k$ $k=7$ Hence, $x+y-z=-7$
