Math Problem Statement
Solution
The problem consists of two parts:
-
Parametric Representation of the Line : You are given four points:
- , where is a parameter in .
The first task is to find the parametric equation of the line , which passes through points and , and the line , which passes through points and .
-
Orthogonality Condition: The second task is to find the values of for which the lines and are orthogonal, and whether there exists a plane that contains both lines.
Let's go step by step. Do you want me to start with part (a) to determine the parametric equations of the lines first?
