HELP! Intersection of two lines (VECTORS)
Find the common point of the lines r=i+j+k+x(j-3k) and r=i+y(k-j)
If the lines intersect then there are numbers x and y such that
i+j+k+x(j-3k)=i+y(k-j)
The two lines above does intersect at a point. But my question is how did they find that point!. I am guessing you must need to find x and y to find the point BUT HOW!
kinds regards
I will send the right answer after somebody attempts the above question which i need help on
