Question Number 63427 by Rio Michael last updated on 04/Jul/19

(1) A plane contains the lines ((x+1)/2)=((4−y)/2)=((z−2)/3) and r= (2i+2j + 12k)+t(−i+2j +4k). find (a) the angle between these lines. (b) A cartesian equation of the plane. (2) Given the lines l_1 :((x−10)/3)=((y−1)/1)=((z−9)/4) l_2 :r=(−9j+13k)+μ(i+2j−3k) where μ is a parameter; l_3 :((x+10)/4)=((y+5)/3)=((z+4)/1). a) show that the point (4,−1,1) is common to l_1 and l_2 . Find b) the point of intersection of l_2 and l_3 . c) A vector parametric equation of the plane containing the lines l_2 and l_3 . sir Forkum Michael
