The equations | |||||||||
| |||||||||
can be written in matrix form as | |||||||||
| |||||||||
Note both equations have the same coefficient matrix, so if that matrix is invertible, the solutions are easy. | |||||||||
| |||||||||
Here is a proof that the matrix is invertible if and only if the points p1, p2, and p3 are non-collinear. | |||||||||
Here is the solution. |
