Any plane through the line of intersection of P1=0P_1=0 and P2=0P_2=0 has the form P1+λP2=0P_1+\lambda P_2=0; here the two given planes both pass through the origin along the ZZ-axis, so technically every plane px+qy=0px+qy=0 contains that line — the natural, most direct member (taking λ=1\lambda=1, i.e. adding the two equations) is singled out below.

Family of planes through the intersection of x+y=0x+y=0 and x−y=0x-y=0: (x+y)+λ(x−y)=0(x+y)+\lambda(x-y)=0, i.e. (1+λ)x+(1−λ)y=0(1+\lambda)x+(1-\lambda)y=0.

Since both given planes pass through the origin and their line of intersection is the ZZ-axis (x=0,y=0x=0,y=0), every plane of the form px+qy=0px+qy=0 contains this line — so strictly speaking more than one of the listed options (x=0x=0, x+2y=0x+2y=0, x−2y=0x-2y=0, y+2x=0y+2x=0) technically belongs to the family for some value of λ\lambda.
