Q7 of 181 Page 1246

Write the general equation of a plane parallel to the x-axis.

Let, normal vector of plane be



Equation of plane is given by,





As the required plane is parallel to the given plane, hence normal vector of plane is perpendicular to x-axis.




a = 0


Therefore, equation of plane is


by + cz = d
