Show that the lines and are coplanar.

Also find the equation of the plane containing these lines.


Given : Equations of lines -




To Prove : are coplanar.


To Find : Equation of plane.


Formulae :


1) Cross Product :


If are two vectors




then,



2) Dot Product :


If are two vectors




then,



3) Coplanarity of two lines :


If two lines are coplanar then



4) Equation of plane :


If two lines are coplanar then equation of the plane containing them is



Where,



Answer :


Given equations of lines are




Let,


Where,






Now,





Therefore,



= 0 + 4 + 3


= 7


……… eq(1)


And



= - 2 + 12 – 3


= 7


……… eq(2)


From eq(1) and eq(2)



Hence lines are coplanar.


Equation of plane containing lines is



Now,



From eq(1)



Therefore, equation of required plane is
