Find a linear function whose graph is the plane that intersects the xy-plane along the line y=2x+2 and contains the point (1,2,2).

Oh, linear functions and planes, they're like the "Friends" of mathematics. So, to find a linear function whose graph is the plane intersecting the xy-plane along the line y=2x+2, we need to figure out the equation of that plane.

Since we know a point on the plane, which is (1,2,2), we can use that to find the equation. Now, get ready for some hilarious math!

The equation of a plane is usually represented as Ax + By + Cz + D = 0, where A, B, C, and D are constants. Since our plane intersects the xy-plane, the Z-coordinate is 0. So we can plug in the point (1,2,2) into the equation and get:

A(1) + B(2) + C(2) + D = 0

Now, let's incorporate the equation of the line y=2x+2. Since we're in the xy-plane, our Z-coordinate is 0, and the equation of the line becomes y=2x.

Now, let's replace y in the equation of the plane with 2x:

A(1) + B(2x) + C(0) + D = 0

Simplifying that gives us:

A + 2Bx + D = 0

So, a linear function that satisfies the given conditions is f(x) = -2Bx - A - D.

Hope all the laughter didn't distract you too much! Remember to substitute different values for A, B, and D to create various linear functions.
