Detailed Solution
The plane is perpendicular to the line x−acosθ=y+2sinθ=z−30Hence , the direction ratios of the normal of the plane are cosθ,sinθ and 0.Now, the required plane passes through the e-axis. Hence, the point (0, 0, 0) lies on the plane.Thus, we get equation of the plane as cosθ(x−0)+sinθ(y−0)+0(z−0)=0cosθx+sinθy=0x+ytanθ=0
