4. Please help answer parts a. and b. to this question.

Consider the following lines.
r(t) = (3t+ 3,5t + 1,4t + 4), for - ∞ <t< o∞
R(s) = (s+2, 2s – 1, - 3s + 7), for - o<s<co
a. Determine whether the lines intersect (have a common point) and if so, find the coordinates of that point.
b. If r and R describe the paths of two particles, do the particles collide? Assume t>0 and s20 measure time in seconds.
