= 2z, is cut by the planes x + y = C, where C is an arbitrary constant. Find the family of lines that form a conjugated net with these sections. A net of surface lines is said to be conjugated if at each point the tangential vectors the lines of different families of this net are conjugated.Reference: Fedenko, A.S.

Development:
Let a = 3, b = 2 y C = 4.
