Question
Consider a plane \( \Pi \) whose unit normal vector pointing outward from the origin is \( \mathbf{n} = ai + bj + ck \) and the shortest distance from the origin \( O(0,0,0) \) is \( d \), as shown in the figure. Show that all points \( P(x,y,z) \) on this plane satisfy the equation \( ax + by + cz - d = 0 \).

**Explanation of Diagram:**

- The diagram illustrates a three-dimensional coordinate system with a plane \( \Pi \).
- The plane \( \Pi \) is positioned such that its normal vector \( \mathbf{n} \) is shown as an arrow pointing outward from the origin \( O(0,0,0) \) to a point on the plane.
- The unit normal vector \( \mathbf{n} = ai + bj + ck \) is represented by an arrow perpendicular to the plane, indicating the direction in which it points.
- The shortest distance from the origin to the plane is denoted as \( d \), represented by the dashed line connecting the origin \( O \) to a point on the plane along the direction of the normal vector.
- The point \( P \) on the plane is a representative point indicating that any point on this plane satisfies the specified equation.
