How can i answer this question? Been stuck on for a while.
If a plane contains two distinct points P1 and P2, show that it contains every point on the line through P1 and P2.
Any help is appreciated

Interpret the line segment as a linear combination of P1 and P2 and Interpret the segment in terms of the two points.

be vectors representing the points P1,P2.A plane with general equation
contains these two points, therefore we have that
The line through P1,P2 is given as
Show that this satisfies the plane's equation, which would hence imply that this line lies entirely in the plane.

Sorry, where does the t come from?

If you can show all points (for all t) lie on the plane, then you're done.

t is a free variable between 0 and 1. It generates all points on the line between P1 and P2.

Do i use the equation r.n = d ? Sorry if it's taking me a while to get

r is the point, n is the (unit) normal and d is the distance from the origin.

That is an equation of the plane. So yes.

And from the example above R = (P2 - P1)?
And from the example above R = (P2 - P1)?
But subtracting the two equations shows the difference
(P1-P2).n = 0

OP, out of curiosity, why did you remove all your posts on your previous threads? Looks a bit dodgy .. almost as if you asked for help with assessed work and want to get rid of the evidence

t does not necessarily need to be between 0 and 1.
n is not necessarily the unit normal.

r is either p1 or p2. They satisfy r.n=d

(P1-P2).n = 0

Does that mean t can be n then?

I think r.n = d is the best, unless you think i could use a better one?

So, a is a known vector for a fixed point in a plane, n is the normal vector and r is a resultant vector?

r is a point (vector) on the plane. Not sure what a or the resultant vector are?
