2.Change the equation of the plane to z=x+2  .  How would you describe the intersection of this plane and double-napped cone now?  And find the equation of the intersecting curve.

3.Change the equation of the plane to z=0.5x+2 .  How would you describe the intersection of this plane and double-napped cone now?  And find the equation of the intersecting curve.

4.Change the equation of the plane to z=4x+2 .  How would you describe the intersection of this plane and double-napped cone now?  And find the equation of the intersecting curve.
