The locus of the equation x y+y z=0 is
Options
- Aa pair of straight lines
- Ba pair of parallel lines
- Ca pair of perpendicular planes
- DNone of the above
Correct answer
C. a pair of perpendicular planes
Step-by-step solution
x y+y z=0 (x+z) y=0 y=0 or x+z=0 The equations y=0 and x+z=0 represents planes which are at right angles as their altitudes numbers are 0,1,0 and 1,0,1 respectively.
