Answer

$a.\quad z=1$ $b.\quad x=3$ $c.\quad y=-1$

Work Step by Step

$ a.\quad$ A plane parallel to the xy-plane is $z=k,\ \ k\in \mathbb{R}.$ The point $(3,-1,1)$ has the z-coordinate equal to $1$, so the plane is $z=1$. $ b.\quad$ A plane parallel to the yz-plane is $x=k,\ \ k\in \mathbb{R}.$ The point $(3,-1,1)$ has the x-coordinate equal to $3$, so the plane is $x=3$. $ c.\quad$ A plane parallel to the xz-plane is $y=k,\ \ k\in \mathbb{R}.$ The point $(3,-1,1)$ has the y-coordinate equal to $-1$, so the plane is $y=-1$.
