The line of intersection of the planes is in the direction of the cross-product of the two normals:
{1,-1,-2}x{3,-2,1} = {-5,-7,1}
Now we have a point and a normal vector.
The equation of the plane is thus
-5(x-3) - 7(y-7) + 1(z-1) = 0
-5x + 15 - 7y + 49 + z - 1 = 0
5x+7y-z = 63
{1,-1,-2}x{3,-2,1} = {-5,-7,1}
Now we have a point and a normal vector.
The equation of the plane is thus
-5(x-3) - 7(y-7) + 1(z-1) = 0
-5x + 15 - 7y + 49 + z - 1 = 0
5x+7y-z = 63
