8 The plane \(\Pi _ { 1 }\) has equation \(\mathbf { r } = \left( \begin{array} { r } 2
3
- 1 \end{array} \right) + s \left( \begin{array} { l } 1
0
1 \end{array} \right) + t \left( \begin{array} { r } 1
- 1
- 2 \end{array} \right)\). Find a cartesian equation of \(\Pi _ { 1 }\). The plane \(\Pi _ { 2 }\) has equation \(2 x - y + z = 10\). Find the acute angle between \(\Pi _ { 1 }\) and \(\Pi _ { 2 }\). Find an equation of the line of intersection of \(\Pi _ { 1 }\) and \(\Pi _ { 2 }\), giving your answer in the form \(\mathbf { r } = \mathbf { a } + \lambda \mathbf { b }\).
