Answer

(b) True. (d) True.

Work Step by Step

The normal vector to the $ yz $-plane is $\langle 1,0,0\rangle $ and using the fact that parallel planes have parallel normal vectors, we have: (a) False, since $\langle 0,0,1\rangle $ is not parallel $\langle 1,0,0\rangle $. (b) True. (c) False, since $\langle 0,a,b\rangle $ is not parallel $\langle 1,0,0\rangle $. (d) True, $ x=d $ has the normal vector $\langle 1,0,0\rangle $.
