Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

When you refer to a normal vector you mean the form a*x + b*y + c*z = d, if that's the case then it's not unique in the nose because it gives you its normal vector. Taking into account that uniqueness only supports multiplicative constants, which means that you can multiply the equation with whatever you want, that is, it remains the same
