Intersecting Lines: Consider the two lines given by: L1 : (x, y, z) = (3 – 5t, 7 + 2t, 4 – t), and L2 : (x, y, z) = (7+3s, 5 – s, 10 – 2s). Show L1 and L2 intersect at exactly one point, and find the coordinates of that point. Find a Cartesian equation for the plane that contains L1 and L2. Hint: use the cross-product on the two direction vectors to find a normal vector. а. b.
