Determine point of intersection or find the value of $z$ [closed]












-2












$begingroup$


Let $L_1$ be the line passing through the points $Q_1=(4, −2, −4)$ and $Q_2=(5, −1, −5)$ and let $L_2$ be the line passing through the point $P_1=(−13, −12, 6)$ with direction vector $underline{d}=[6, 3, −6]^T$. Determine whether $L_1$ and $L_2$ intersect. If so, find the point of intersection $Q$. If not, find a value for the $z$-coordinate of $P_1$ so the resulting lines do intersect.



Please tell me what the result is

Find the equation for both lines:



$$L_1 = begin{pmatrix}4 \ -2 \ -4end{pmatrix} + tbegin{pmatrix}1 \ 1 \ -1end{pmatrix};L_2 = begin{pmatrix}-13 \ -12 \ 6end{pmatrix} + sbegin{pmatrix}6 \ 3 \ -6end{pmatrix}$$
Set $L_1=L_2$, to form a set of linear equations in s and t:



$$begin{pmatrix}4 \ -2 \ -4end{pmatrix} + tbegin{pmatrix}1 \ 1 \ -1end{pmatrix} = begin{pmatrix}-13 \ -12 \ 6end{pmatrix} + sbegin{pmatrix}6 \ 3 \ -6end{pmatrix}$$
Rearranging:
$$begin{pmatrix}17 \ 10 \ -10end{pmatrix}=sbegin{pmatrix}6 \ 3 \ -6end{pmatrix}-tbegin{pmatrix}1 \ 1 \ -1end{pmatrix}$$



Now $$17=6s- t, 10=3s-t\implies t=-3,s=frac{7}{3}$$
Verify with the final equation: $$-10neq-6(frac{7}{3})+1(-3)$$
Since this does not hold, we must change either $L_1$ or $L_2$, e.g. $$-4-(t)=x-6(s)\ implies -4-(-3)=x-6(frac{7}{3})\ implies x = 13.$$ So $$L_2 = begin{pmatrix}-13 \ -12 \ 13end{pmatrix} + tbegin{pmatrix}6 \ 3 \ -6end{pmatrix}$$

(Check my arithmetic). $L_1=Q_1+(Q_2-Q_1)s=(4,-2,-4)+(1,1,-1)s$ and $L_2=P_1+d=(-13,-12,6)+(6,3,-6)T$. Match $x$ and $y$ coordinates to get simultaneous equations. $-13+6T=4+s,-12+3T=-2+s$. Solve and get $T=7/3, s=-3$. The $z$ coordinate for $L_1$ is$-1$ while the coordinate for $L_2$ is $4$. To get them to intersect change $z$ coordinate of $P_1$ to $13$.



$Q=(1,-5,-1)$.
