Solution and Explanation

The equation of the plane ZOX is y=0

Any plane parallel to it is of the form, y=a

Since, the y-intercept of the plane is 3,
∴ a=3

Thus, the equation of the required plane is y=3.

Plane

A  surface comprising all the straight lines that join any two points lying on it is called a plane in geometry. A plane is defined through any of the following uniquely:

  • Using three non-collinear points
  • Using a point and a line not on that line
  • Using two distinct intersecting lines
  • Using two separate parallel lines

Properties of a Plane:

  • In a three-dimensional space, if there are two different planes than they are either parallel to each other or intersecting in a line.
  • A line could be parallel to a plane, intersects the plane at a single point or is existing in the plane.
  • If there are two different lines that are perpendicular to the same plane then they must be parallel to each other.
  • If there are two separate planes which are perpendicular to the same line then they must be parallel to each other.
