Answer

$x+y-z=5$ $x=5$ $y=5$ $z=-5$

Work Step by Step

The plane containing the point $P(p,q,r)$ and having the normal vector $n=\lt a,b,c\gt$ is expressed algebraically by the equation as follows: $a(x-p)+b(y-q)+c(z-r)=0$ or, $1(x-0)+1(y-2)+(-1)(z-(-3))=0$ or, $x+y-2-(z+3)=0 \implies x+y-z=5$ To find the $x$-intercept, let us consider $y=0; z=0$ Thus, $x=5$ To find the $y$-intercept, let us consider $x=0; z=0$ Thus, $y=5$ To find the $z$-intercept, let us consider $x=0;y=0$ Thus, $z=-5$
