Construct a \(2 \times 3\) matrix \(A\), not in echelon form, such that the solution of \(Ax = 0\) is a line in \({\mathbb{R}^3}\).
The solutions \(\left( {x,y,z} \right)\) of a single linear equation \(ax + by + cz = d\)
form a plane in \({\mathbb{R}^3}\) when a, b, and c are not all zero. Construct sets of three linear equations whose graphs (a) intersect in a single line, (b) intersect in a single point, and (c) have no points in common. Typical graphs are illustrated in the figure.

Three planes intersecting in a line.
(a)

Three planes intersecting in a point.
(b)

Three planes with no intersection.
(c)

Three planes with no intersection.

Let \({{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _1} = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1\\0\\{ - 2}\end{array}} \right],{v_2} = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{ - 3}\\1\\8\end{array}} \right],\) and \({\rm{y = }}\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}h\\{ - 5}\\{ - 3}\end{array}} \right]\). For what values(s) of \(h\) is \(y\) in the plane generated by \({{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _1}\) and \({{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} _2}\)
Determine the values(s) of \(h\) such that matrix is the augmented matrix of a consistent linear system.
