Find a vector parametrization of the circle contained in the plane x=5 with radius 3 centered at the point...

I know the vector parametrization of the circle contained within the yz-plane centered at the origin is:



$vec r$( $theta$ ) = < 0, 3 cos $theta$ , 3 sin $theta$ >



What do I do next?
If the circle was contained in the xy-plane or xz-plane, how would this change the parametrization?

    It's worth noting that this question as stated doesn't quite make sense; a circle contained in the plane $x=5$ has its center in the same plane, so its center could never be $(3,1,2)$. @AbdallahHammam's answer is one reasonable interpretation, but note that the resulting circle doesn't have radius $3$.

  • @stewbasic My bad. I meant to put the point (5,1,2).

The circle we want the parametrization for, which is the intersection of the sphere of equation



$$(x-5)^2+(y-1)^2+(z-2)^2=9$$



with the plane $x=5$ has equation



$$(y-1)^2+(z-2)^2=9.$$



Thus, we can parametrize the circle in the following way:



begin{align}
x&=5\
y&=1+3cos(t)\
z&=2+3sin(t).\
end{align}
