Question
In the following cases, determine whether the given planes are parallel or perpendicular, and in case they are neither, find the angles between them.
2x + y + 3z - 2 and x - 2y + 5 = 0
✓

Answer

The direction ratios of normal to the plane, L1: a1x + b1y + c1z = 0,
are a1, b1, c1 and L2: a2x + b2y + c2z = 0 are a2, b2, c2
$\text{L}_1||\text{L}_2,\ \text{if }\frac{\text{a}_1}{\text{a}_2}=\frac{\text{b}_1}{\text{b}_2}=\frac{\text{c}_1}{\text{c}_2}$
$\text{L}_1\perp\text{L}_2,\ \text{if}\ \text{a}_1\text{a}_2+\text{b}_1\text{b}_2+\text{c}_1\text{c}_2=0$
The angle between L1 and L2 is given by,
$\text{Q}=\cos^{-1}\Bigg|\frac{\text{a}_1\text{a}_2+\text{b}_1\text{b}_2+\text{c}_1\text{c}_2}{\sqrt{\text{a}_1^2+\text{b}_1^2+\text{c}_1^2}.\sqrt{\text{a}_2^2+\text{b}_2^2+\text{c}_2^2}}$
The equations of the planes are 2x + y + 3z - 2 = 0 and x - 2y + 5 = 0
Here, a1 = 2, b1 = 1, c1 = 3 and a2 = 1, b2 = -2, c2 = 0
$\therefore\ \text{a}_1\text{a}_2+\text{b}_1\text{b}_2+\text{c}_1\text{c}_2=2\times1+1\times(-2)+3\times0=0$
Thus, the given planes are perpendicular to each other.
