Answer

The plane with $y=\dfrac{\sqrt 3x}{3}$.

Work Step by Step

Given: $\theta=\dfrac{\pi}{6}$ This angle implies that the surface will be a plane passing through the origin with an angle $\dfrac{\pi}{6}$ in the xy plane and above the x-axis. Since, $\tan \theta=\dfrac{y}{x}$ and $\tan \dfrac{\pi}{6}=\dfrac{y}{x}$ This implies that $\dfrac{y}{x}=\dfrac{\sqrt 3}{3}$ or, $y=\dfrac{\sqrt 3x}{3}$ Thus, it represents an equation of a plane with $y=\dfrac{\sqrt 3x}{3}$.
