TopicVectors: Lines & Planes

  1. The line \(l _ { 1 }\) has equation
$$\frac { x - 1 } { 2 } = \frac { y + 1 } { - 1 } = \frac { z - 4 } { 3 }$$ The line \(l _ { 2 }\) has equation $$\mathbf { r } = \mathbf { i } + 3 \mathbf { k } + t ( \mathbf { i } - \mathbf { j } + 2 \mathbf { k } )$$ where \(t\) is a scalar parameter.
  1. Show that \(l _ { 1 }\) and \(l _ { 2 }\) lie in the same plane.
  2. Write down a vector equation for the plane containing \(l _ { 1 }\) and \(l _ { 2 }\)
  3. Find, to the nearest degree, the acute angle between \(l _ { 1 }\) and \(l _ { 2 }\)
