Question
Let A be the point with coordinates
(0, -2, -3), let B be the point with
coordinates (2, 0, 3), let C be the
midpoint of the line segment AB, let
D be the point with coordinates
(1,0,0), and let E be the point with
coordinates (0,1,0). Let II be the
plane passing through the three
points C,D,E.
Suppose that the line x=y=z
intersects the plane II at the point P.
Write down the first coordinate of P.
