Suppose the floor of a hotel is made up of mirror polished Salvatore stone. There is a large crystal chandelier attached to the ceiling of the hotel room. Consider the floor of the hotel room as a plane having the equation x – y + z = 4 and the crystal chandelier is suspended at the point (1, 0, 1).
