3D Coordinate Geometry

3D Coordinate Geometry - Parallel Planes

Which of the following is/are true regarding three planes $\alpha,\beta,$ and $\gamma$ in the coordinate space?

I. If $\alpha:~a_1x+b_1y+c_1z+d_1=0$ and $\beta:~a_2x+b_2y+c_2z+d_2=0$ are parallel, then $a_1=a_2,~b_1=b_2,$ and $c_1=c_2.$

II. If $\alpha\parallel\beta$ and $\beta\parallel\gamma,$ then $\alpha\parallel\gamma.$

III. If $\alpha\bot\beta$ and $\beta\bot\gamma,$ then $\alpha\parallel\gamma.$

I only II only III only I and II only II and III only
