Question

Find the equation of a plane passing through the origin and perpendicular to x-axis

Open in App
Solution

Dear Student,

Since, the plane is perpendicular to x-axis,So, x-axis is the normal to the plane.Now, dr's of x-axis are 1, 0, 0Now, equation of the plane passing through x1, y1, z1 and having dr's of the normal to the plane a,b,c isax-x1 + by-y1 + cz-z1 = 0Now, equation of plane passing through 0,0,0 and having dr's of normal to plane as 1,0,0 is1x-0+0y-0+0z-0 = 0x = 0
