Remark
Similar to family of lines in 2-D ( i.e. L1 + λL2 = 0 ) we have a family

of planes in 3D.
Any plane through line of intersection of
P1 : a1x + b1y + c1z + d1 = 0 &
P2 : a2x + b2y + c2z + d2 = 0 is of the form P1 + λP2 = 0 .

Some Formulae
Angle between two planes:
Angle between a plane and line:

Remark
Distance of a point from plane, distance
between two parallel planes, foot of
perpendicular, image of a point in plane,
bisector of acute and obtuse angle between
two planes all are generalisation of 2-D results
for straight lines.
(1) Distance of (x1, y1, z1) from ax + by + cz + d = 0
P (x1, y1, z1)
M (x, y, z)
(2) Distance between two parallel planes

ax + by + cz + d1 = 0 and ax + by + cz + d2 = 0
ax + by + cz + d1 = 0
ax + by + cz + d2 = 0
(3) Foot of perpendicular of (x1, y1, z1) on ax + by + cz + d = 0
(4) Image of a point (x1, y1, z1) in (ax + by + cz + d = 0)

(5) Ratio in which plane ax + by + cz + d = 0 divides join of A and B
ax + by + cz + d = 0
