Question
In the following cases, determine whether the given planes are parallel or perpendicular, and in case they are neither, find the angles between them.
$4x + 8y + z - 8 = 0$ and $y + z - 4 = 0$

Answer

The direction ratios of normal to the plane, $L_1: a_1x + b_1y + c_1z = 0,$
are $a_1, b_1, c_1$ and $L_2: a_2x + b_2y + c_2z = 0$ are $a_2, b_2, c_2$​​​​​​​ 
$\text{L}_1||\text{L}_2,\ \text{if }\frac{\text{a}_1}{\text{a}_2}=\frac{\text{b}_1}{\text{b}_2}=\frac{\text{c}_1}{\text{c}_2}$
$\text{L}_1\perp\text{L}_2,\ \text{if}\ \text{a}_1\text{a}_2+\text{b}_1\text{b}_2+\text{c}_1\text{c}_2=0$
The angle between L_1 and L_2 is given by,
$\text{Q}=\cos^{-1}\Bigg|\frac{\text{a}_1\text{a}_2+\text{b}_1\text{b}_2+\text{c}_1\text{c}_2}{\sqrt{\text{a}_1^2+\text{b}_1^2+\text{c}_1^2}.\sqrt{\text{a}_2^2+\text{b}_2^2+\text{c}_2^2}}$
The equations of the given planes are $4x + 8y + z - 8 = 0$ and $y + z - 4 = 0$
Here, $a_1 = 4, b_1 = 8, c_1 = 1$ and $a_2 = 0, b_2 = 1, c_2 = 1$
$a_1a_2 +b_1b_2 + c_1c_2 = 4\times 0 + 8 \times 1 + 1$
$=9\neq0$
$\frac{\text{a}_1}{\text{a}_2}=\frac{4}{0},\ \frac{\text{b}_1}{\text{b}_2}=\frac{8}{1}=8\text{ and } \frac{\text{c}_1}{\text{c}_2}=\frac{1}{1}=1$
$\therefore\ \ \frac{\text{a}_1}{\text{a}_2}\neq\frac{\text{b}_1}{\text{b}_2}\neq\frac{\text{c}_1}{\text{c}_2}$
Therefore, the given lines are not parallel to each other.
The angle between the planes is given by,
$\text{Q}=\cos^{-1}\Bigg|\frac{4\times0+8\times1+1\times1}{\sqrt{4^2+8^2+1^2}\times\sqrt{0^2+1^2+1^2}}\Bigg|=\cos^{-1}\Bigg|\frac{9}{9\sqrt{2}}\Bigg|$
$=\cos^{-1}\Big(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\Big)=45^{\circ}.$
