The correct Answer is:
To determine the relationship between the two lines \( L_1 \) and \( L_2 \), we first need to analyze their vector equations. ### Step 1: Write down the vector equations of the lines The vector equations of the lines are given as: - \( L_1: \mathbf{r} = 2\mathbf{i} + 9\mathbf{j} + 13\mathbf{k} + \lambda(\mathbf{i} + 2\mathbf{j} + 3\mathbf{k}) \) - \( L_2: \mathbf{r} = -3\mathbf{i} + 7\mathbf{j} + p\mathbf{k} + \mu(-\mathbf{i} + 2\mathbf{j} - 3\mathbf{k}) \) ### Step 2: Rewrite the equations in parametric form For \( L_1 \): - \( x_1 = 2 + \lambda \) - \( y_1 = 9 + 2\lambda \) - \( z_1 = 13 + 3\lambda \) For \( L_2 \): - \( x_2 = -3 - \mu \) - \( y_2 = 7 + 2\mu \) - \( z_2 = p - 3\mu \) ### Step 3: Set the equations equal to find intersection points For the lines to intersect, the corresponding components must be equal: 1. \( 2 + \lambda = -3 - \mu \) (Equation 1) 2. \( 9 + 2\lambda = 7 + 2\mu \) (Equation 2) 3. \( 13 + 3\lambda = p - 3\mu \) (Equation 3) ### Step 4: Solve the first two equations From Equation 1: \[ \lambda + \mu = -5 \quad \text{(Rearranging gives us Equation A)} \] From Equation 2: \[ 2\lambda - 2\mu = -2 \quad \text{(Rearranging gives us Equation B)} \] Dividing by 2: \[ \lambda - \mu = -1 \quad \text{(Equation B)} \] ### Step 5: Solve the system of equations (A and B) Now we have: 1. \( \lambda + \mu = -5 \) (A) 2. \( \lambda - \mu = -1 \) (B) Adding these two equations: \[ 2\lambda = -6 \implies \lambda = -3 \] Substituting \( \lambda = -3 \) into Equation A: \[ -3 + \mu = -5 \implies \mu = -2 \] ### Step 6: Substitute \( \lambda \) and \( \mu \) into Equation 3 Now substitute \( \lambda = -3 \) and \( \mu = -2 \) into Equation 3: \[ 13 + 3(-3) = p - 3(-2) \] \[ 13 - 9 = p + 6 \] \[ 4 = p + 6 \implies p = -2 \] ### Conclusion The lines \( L_1 \) and \( L_2 \) intersect at the point where \( p = -2 \). ### Final Answer The lines \( L_1 \) and \( L_2 \) intersect at \( p = -2 \). ---
