Get axis and angle of rotation of a plane

Hi all,
I have a finite plane that intersects a centreline. I know the point on the centreline of where the intersection occurs: x = 10.9, y = 13.3, z =6.4. I have attached the centreline points FYI and a plot of the plane and intersecting centreline.
My plane is defined as follows
v = [0.14 -0.28 -0.94];
x1 = 10.97;
y1 = 13.13;
z1 = 6.40;
w = null(v); % Find two orthonormal vectors which are orthogonal to v
[P,Q] = meshgrid(-1:1); % Provide a gridwork (you choose the size)
X = x1+w(1,1)*P+w(1,2)*Q; % Compute the corresponding cartesian coordinates
Y = y1+w(2,1)*P+w(2,2)*Q; % using the two vectors in w
Z = z1+w(3,1)*P+w(3,2)*Q;
I now need MATLAB to output the axis of rotation of the plane and the angle of rotation of the plane.
Any suggestions on how to achieve this are welcome. Thanks.
