Answer

$7x-5y-4z=6$

Work Step by Step

Since, we are given that the plane is passing through $(1,1,-1),(2,0,2), (0,-2,1)$ Now, $\overrightarrow{p}=\lt 1,-1,3 \gt$ and $\overrightarrow{q}=\lt -1,-3,2 \gt$ The cross product of $\overrightarrow{p}=\lt 1,-1,3 \gt$ and $\overrightarrow{q}=\lt -1,-3,2 \gt$ is equal to $ 7i-5j-4k$ Consider the equation of a plane: $ 7x-5y-4z=D$ For point $(1,1,-1)$; we get $ 7(1)-5(1)-4(-1)=d \implies d=6 $ Hence, $7x-5y-4z=6$
