HERE'S YOUR ANSWER
Let's take a mirror in the shape of a sphere having its diameter so large that it tends to infinity.
Now lets imagine that we cut a small incremental length from the surface area of the spherical mirror.
If we compare the part cut, we will find that, in comparison to the spherical mirror the part cut will appear as a plane mirror.
In short, a plane mirror can be considered as a spherical mirror of infinite diameter.
It means that it will have an infinite radius of curvature.
Hence, we can conclude that a Plane Mirror has an *Infinite* focal length.

Answer:
Explanation:
Focal length = f = R/2
R - Radius of curvature of mirror
f = infinite(symbol) / 2
= Infinite
