Homework Statement
Determine whether the following two lines intersect:
(x-2)/2 = (y+3)/1 = (z-4)/-3 ,and (x+3)/4 = (y+4)/1 = (-z+8)/4
Find an intersection point, then find the distance between the lines.
Homework Equations
Symmetric equations of a straight line (given)
Parametric equations of a straight line.
AxB/mag(AxB)
The Attempt at a Solution
First I parametrized the equations and got :
x=1+2t x=-3+4t
y=-3+t y=4+t
z=4-3t z=8-4t
Then I found PQ and n and I am not sure what to do next to find the intersection point.
Thank You
