So if the equation of D is D : ax + by + cz = 0, then the equation of its conjugate D* is D* : a*x + b*y + c*z = 0.

The conjugate of a real line

In mathematics, the real line, or real number line is the line whose points are the real numbers. That is, the real line is the set of all real numbers, viewed as a geometric space, namely the Euclidean space of dimension one...

is the line itself.
The intersection point of two conjugated lines is always real.
