The equation of the plane which passes through the three points A(1,1,-1),\ B(6,4,-5),\ and\ C(-4,-2,3)  is given by;

Determinant method,

\begin{vmatrix} 1 &1 &-1 \\ 6& 4 & -5\\ -4& -2 &3 \end{vmatrix} = (12-10)-(18-20)-(-12+16)

Or, = 2+2-4 = 0

Here, these three points A, B, C are collinear points.

Hence there will be an infinite number of planes possible which passing through the given points.
