TopicVectors: Lines & Planes

6 The planes \(\Pi _ { 1 }\) and \(\Pi _ { 2 }\) have equations $$\mathbf { r } \cdot \left( \begin{array} { l } 1
2
1 \end{array} \right) = 3 \text { and } \mathbf { r } \cdot \left( \begin{array} { l } 2
1
4 \end{array} \right) = 5$$ respectively. They intersect in the line \(l\).
  1. Find cartesian equations of \(l\). The plane \(\Pi _ { 3 }\) has equation \(\mathbf { r } . \left( \begin{array} { c } 1
    5
    - 1 \end{array} \right) = 1\).
  2. Show that \(\Pi _ { 3 }\) is parallel to \(l\) but does not contain it.
  3. Verify that \(( 2,0,1 )\) lies on planes \(\Pi _ { 1 }\) and \(\Pi _ { 3 }\). Hence write down a vector equation of the line of intersection of these planes.
