Question
Let A be the point with coordinates (0, -2, 0), let B be the point with coordinates (4, 2, 2), 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.
