65. The planes 2x - y + 4z = 5 and 5x - 2.5y + 10z = 6

(1) Intersect y-axis
(2) Pass through (0.0 × 5/4)
(3) are perpendicular to each other
(4) are parallel to each other

Correct Answer: (4) are parallel to each other

Solution:Two planes a₁x + b₁y + c₁z + d₁ = 0 and a₂x + b₂y + C₂Z + d₂ = 0 will be parallel if
