Solved Problem

Problem: Find the point of intersection (if exists)

between two lines represented by = = and

= = . Find also the equation of the plane

containing these lines.

Solution:

Let, = = =

and = = =

So, we get

= 2 − 1, = 2 + 2, = --------------(1)

= 6 + 1, = − 1, =5 +3 --------------(2)

Now equating (1) and (2), we get

2 −1=6 +1

2 +2= −1

=5 +3

which implies that

2 −6 −2=0

2 − +3=0

−5 −3=0

Solving these three equations we get, = −2 and


= −1.

Substituting the values of and in equation (1) or


(2), we get

( , , ) = (−5, −2, −2)
