Explanation:

The Plane passes through the point having a position vector \(\overrightarrow{a}=i-j+2k\) and is the normal vector \(\overrightarrow{n}=i+2j+3k\)

So, the vector equation of the plane is

\((\overrightarrow{r}-\overrightarrow{a}).\overrightarrow{n}=0\)

⇒ \(\overrightarrow{r}.\overrightarrow{n}=\overrightarrow{a}.\overrightarrow{n}\)

⇒ \(\overrightarrow{r}.(i+2j+3k)=(i-j+2k).(i+2j+3k)\)

Let \(\overrightarrow{r}=xi+yj+zk\)

⇒ \((xi+yj+zk).(i+2j+3k)=(i-j+2k).(i+2j+3k)\)

⇒ x + 2y + 3z = 1 - 2 + 6

⇒ x + 2y + 3z = 5

Hence, the cartesian equation of the plane is x + 2y + 3z = 5.
