  1. The plane \(\Pi _ { 1 }\) has vector equation
$$\mathbf { r } = \left( \begin{array} { l } 5
3
0 \end{array} \right) + s \left( \begin{array} { l } 3
0
1 \end{array} \right) + t \left( \begin{array} { r } 1
- 2
2 \end{array} \right)$$ where \(s\) and \(t\) are scalar parameters.
  1. Determine a Cartesian equation for \(\Pi _ { 1 }\) The plane \(\Pi _ { 2 }\) has vector equation \(\mathbf { r } . \left( \begin{array} { r } 5
    - 2
    3 \end{array} \right) = 1\)
  2. Determine a vector equation for the line of intersection of \(\Pi _ { 1 }\) and \(\Pi _ { 2 }\) Give your answer in the form \(\mathbf { r } = \mathbf { a } + \lambda \mathbf { b }\), where \(\mathbf { a }\) and \(\mathbf { b }\) are constant vectors and \(\lambda\) is a scalar parameter. The plane \(\Pi _ { 3 }\) has Cartesian equation \(4 x - 3 y - z = 0\)
  3. Use the answer to part (b) to determine the coordinates of the point of intersection of \(\Pi _ { 1 } , \Pi _ { 2 }\) and \(\Pi _ { 3 }\)
