Question

Determine whether lines L1 and L2 are parallel, skew, or intersecting. If they intersect, find the point of intersection. (Please use typefont and explain each step, thank you!) 

(a) L1: x = 3 + 2t, y = 4 - t, z = 1 + 3t

L2: x = 1 + 4s, y = 3 - 2s, z = 4 + 5s

(this is supposed to skew, I'm more interested in the steps than the solution.)

(b) L1: (x - 2)/1 = (y - 3)/-2 = (z - 1)/-3 

L2: (x - 3)/1 = (y + 4)/3 = (z - 2)/-7

(this is supposed to intersect at (4, -1, -5, and again I'm trying to learn the steps not the solution.)

Thank you!
