To determine the intersection point of three planes in MATLAB, you can solve the system of linear equations using matrix operations. Here's how you can do it:
Define the coefficients of the three planes in matrix form.
Let's say the coefficients of the planes are given by the matrices A
, B
, and C
, and the constants on the right-hand side are given by the matrices D
, E
, and F
.
Each row of the matrices A
, B
, and C
represents the coefficients of x
, y
, and z
variables respectively, while the corresponding element in D
, E
, and F
represents the constant on the right-hand side.

Solve the system of linear equations using MATLAB's matrix division operator \
.
The resulting intersection point p
can be obtained by multiplying the inverse of the coefficient matrix with the right-hand side vector.

The resulting p
will be a column vector. If you want to represent p
as a row vector containing the x, y, and z coordinates, you can simply transpose it.

The resulting p
will be a row vector containing the x, y, and z coordinates of the intersection point.
Note: Keep in mind that the intersection point may not exist or may be a unique point depending on the specific planes. Also, be careful when using matrix inversion inv
as it can be numerically unstable. Other methods like LU decomposition or the backslash operator \
may be more stable and efficient in practice.
