loadMacros(

TEXT(beginproblem());

Initialization: In particular, we need to include the parserImplicitPlane.pl macro file, which automatically loads MathObjects.pl. 

Context("ImplicitPlane");
#  Vectors in the plane
$AB = non_zero_vector3D();
$AC = non_zero_vector3D(); 
while (areParallel $AB $AC) {$AC = non_zero_vector3D()}

#  The normal vector
$N = cross $AB $AC; # or $N = $AB x $AC;
#  The points A, B and C
$A = non_zero_point3D();
$B = Point($A + $AB);
$C = Point($A + $AC);

$answer = ImplicitPlane($A,$N);

Setup: Create points and vectors. Make sure that the vectors are not parallel. There are several other ways to define planes implicitly, which are explained at parserImplicitPlane.pl

If the correct answer is a line in 2D space instead of a plane in 3D space, the only modification needed is to reduce the number of variables to two, which will modify error messages accordingly. 

Context("ImplicitPlane");
Context()->variables->are(x=>"Real",y=>"Real");

$answer = ImplicitPlane("y=4x+3");


Context()->texStrings;
BEGIN_TEXT

END_TEXT

Main Text: Self-explanatory.

$showPartialCorrectAnswers = 1;

ENDDOCUMENT();

Answer Evaluation: Just specify a point $A and a normal vector $N.
