7. The plane \(\Pi _ { 1 }\) has equation \(x + y + z = 3\) and the plane \(\Pi _ { 2 }\) has equation \(2 x + 3 y - z = 4\) The planes \(\Pi _ { 1 }\) and \(\Pi _ { 2 }\) intersect in the line \(L\).
  1. Find a cartesian equation for the line \(L\). The plane \(\Pi _ { 3 }\) has equation $$\text { r. } \left( \begin{array} { r } 5
    - 4
    4 \end{array} \right) = 12$$ The line \(L\) meets the plane \(\Pi _ { 3 }\) at the point \(A\).
  2. Find the coordinates of \(A\).
  3. Find the acute angle between \(\overrightarrow { O A }\) and the line \(L\), where \(O\) is the origin. Give your answer in degrees to one decimal place.
