Consider the three planes
P1 : 3x + 15y + 21z = 9,
P2 : x $-$ 3y $-$ z = 5, and
P3 : 2x + 10y + 14z = 5
Then, which one of the following is true?
Solution
P<sub>1</sub> : 3x + 15y + 21z = 9,<br><br>P<sub>2</sub> : x $-$ 3y $-$ z = 5<br><br>P<sub>3</sub> : x + 5y + 7z = 5/2
<br><br>$\therefore$ P<sub>1</sub> and P<sub>3</sub> are parallel.
