Answer

$x+2y-7z= -6$

Work Step by Step

The formula for the equation of a plane through the point $(x_{0},y_{0},z_{0})$ and having the perpendicular vector $a\textbf{i}+b\textbf{j}+c\textbf{k}$ is $a(x-x_{0})+b(y-y_{0})+c(z-z_{0})=0$ Therefore, the equation for the given plane is $-1(x+2)-2(y-5)+7(z-2)=0$ or $-x-2-2y+10+7z-14=0$ or $x+2y-7z= -6$
