Method I  line 1: (1,−3,2)+s(1,2,−1)  line 2: (2,−1,1)+t(3,−1,1)  it′s to see that both lines are not   parallel.  assume they lie in the same plane,  then they should intersect.  1+s=2+3t      ...(i)  −3+2s=−1−t    ...(ii)  2−s=1+t    ...(iii)  from (i) and (iii):  ⇒t=0, s=1  put this into (ii):  −3+2=−1−0 ✓  that means both lines intersect indeed.  they lie in the same plane.

Method II  vector 1: (1,2,−1)  vector 2: (3,−1,1)  vector 3: (1,2,−1) =PQ^(→)     ∗)  n_1 =v_1 ×v_3 =(0,0,0)  n_2 =v_2 ×v_3 =(−1,4,7)  n_1  // n_2 . the lines are coplanar.    ∗) it′s to see that point Q on line 2  lies also on line 1, both lines are in  the same plane.

Yes Sir! exactly thankssss   and the intersection point is C (2, −1, 1) ∈ P   Have a good time
