A normal to r is
(0,1,1) cross (-1,0 3)
or
(3, -1, 1) , (I assume you know how to find a cross-product)
So the plane must look like,
3x - y + z = c , where c is a constant
from the line (x-3)/2 = (y+1)/-3 , z=1
the point (3,-1 ,1) must lie on the line, so it must also lie in the plane
3(3) - (-1) + 1 = c
c = 11
equation of your plane is
3x - y + z = 11
(0,1,1) cross (-1,0 3)
