The given lines are

These equations can be written as

∴ x
1 = –3, y
1= 1, z
1 = 5, a
1 = –3, b
1= 1, c
1 = 5
x
2 = –1, y
2 = 2, z
2 = 5, a
2 = –1 b
2 = 2, c
2 = 5
The given lines will be coplanar
if

i.e., if

i.e. if

i.e. if

i.e. if –10+10 + 0 = 0
i.e. if 0 = 0, which is true
∴ given lines are coplanar.
