1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known
Determine parametric equations of the line that Is perpendicular to the lines L1= 3t-2
2t
3t
L2= s-1
2s-7
3s-12
And passes through the point of intersection of lines L1 and L2
2. Homework Equations Parametric equation format:
x= x_1 +at
y= y_1 +bt
z= z_1 +ct
3. The Attempt at a Solution
We'll I'm given 2 sets of lines, I know that for something to be perpendicular I have to have the negative reciprocal of the slope.
But should my first step be to find the point of intersection of L1 and L2? Would I do this by solving a system of equations?
