Consider the general equation of a straight le in 3d a*x + b*y + c*z + d=0. I would like to get a vector giving [a,b,c,d] including those that are zero or infinity. a,b,c,d can be both numeric and symbolic

a*x + b*y + c*z + d = 0
is an equation of plane (not line) in 3D. How do you want to find the values of [a,b,c,d]? Do you want to estimate it using curve-fitting?

Try this
syms x y z
f = -9*x + 7*z + 9;
cd = subs(f, [x y z], [0 0 0]);
cx = subs(f, [x y z], [1 0 0])-cd;
cy = subs(f, [x y z], [0 1 0])-cd;
cz = subs(f, [x y z], [0 0 1])-cd;
cd = subs(f, [x y z], [0 0 0]);
c = [cx cy cz cd];
