๐ Cases of Intersection in 3D Space
Case 0: โ No Common Intersection
- Two planes intersect in a line, but the third is parallel and does not intersect.
- Or all three planes are parallel but not coincident.
- Result: No solution to the system of equations.
Case 1: ๐ฏ Unique Point of Intersection
- Two planes must be nonparallel and intersect in a line.
- The third plane must be nonparallel to that line and intersect it at a single point.
- Result: Exactly one solution โ the point where all three planes meet.
Case 2: ๐ Intersection Along a Line
- Each pair of planes intersects in a line.
- All three planes share exactly one common line.
- Result: Infinitely many solutions along that line.
Case 3: ๐ช Coincident Planes
- All three planes are the same (fully overlapping).
- Every point on the plane satisfies all three equations.
- Result: Infinitely many solutions filling the entire plane.
