From the line equation you have:


  1. \vec{p}=(4,-1,-3)\parallel \text{ line};

  2. B(-3,-3,-5)\in \text{ line.}

About the plane you know that it should pass through the point
A(-5,-1,2) and be ortogonal to the given line (also ortogonal to the vector
\vec{p}). Then its equation is:


4\cdot (x-(-5))+(-1)\cdot (y-(-1))+(-3)\cdot (z-2)=0,\\ \\4(x+5)-(y+1)-3(z-2)=0,\\ \\4x+20-y-1-3z+6=0,\\ \\4x-y-3z+25=0.

Answer:
4x-y-3z+25=0.
