or – 1 = – 1 = – 1, which is true
∴ the lines intersect, and ∴ are coplanar
The point of intersection of lines is (–4 + 5, –4 + 7, 5 – 3) i.e. (1,3,2)
The equation of plane in which given lines lie is
or
or (x – 5) (12+ 5)–(y–7) (12 + 25) + (z + 3) (4 – 28) = 0
or 17 (x – 5) – 47 (y – 7) – 24 (z + 3) = 0
or 17x – 47 y – 24 z + 172 = 0
which is required equation of plane.
