Chapter 14: Problem 4
Line I has equation $$ \boldsymbol{r}_{1}=\left(\begin{array}{l} 2 \\ 3 \\ 5 \end{array}\right)+k\left(\begin{array}{l} 1 \\ 2 \\ 4 \end{array}\right) $$ Line II has equation $$ \boldsymbol{r}_{2}=\left(\begin{array}{c} -5 \\ 8 \\ 1 \end{array}\right)+l\left(\begin{array}{c} -6 \\ 7 \\ 0 \end{array}\right) $$ Different values of \(k\) give different points on line I. Similarly, different values of \(l\) give different points on line II. If the two lines intersect then \(\boldsymbol{r}_{1}=\boldsymbol{r}_{2}\) at the point of intersection. If you can find values of \(k\) and \(l\) which satisfy this condition then the two lines intersect. Show the lines intersect by finding these values and hence find the point of intersection.
