Vectors - Equations of Planes

A plane \(p\) passes through point \(A(1,-2,3)\). Given that the line

\(l:r=\left( \begin{matrix} 1 \\ 1 \\ -4 \\ \end{matrix} \right)+\lambda \left( \begin{matrix} 2 \\ 1 \\ 1 \\ \end{matrix} \right)\) lies in the plane \(p\). Find the equation of \(p\) in

  1. parametric form,
  2. scalar product form,
  3. Cartesian form.
