Answer

\[ x+2 y-z=10 \]

Work Step by Step

Since the plane is perpendicular to the line \[ -t=z, \quad 2 t-3=y, \quad t+2=x \] It's also perpendicular to the parallel vector of the line \[ \langle 1,2,-1\rangle=\langle a, b, c\rangle=\vec{v} \] Since $\vec{v}$ is a normal plane vector and this plane passes through $p(-1,4,-3)$, the equation can be written as \[ \begin{aligned} 0=& \left(x-x_{0}\right)a+\left(y-y_{0}\right)b+\left(z-z_{0}\right)c \\ \Rightarrow 0= &(x+1)+(y-4)2-(z+3) \\ \Rightarrow &0= 2 y-z+x-10 \end{aligned} \] We have found that the equation of the plane that satisfies the given stated conditions can be written as follows \[ 0=x+2 y-z-10 \] \[ x+2 y-z=10 \]
