The question I'm working on is:
Two planes have non-parallel unit normals n and m and their closest distances from the origin are 3 and 7 respectively. Find the vector equation of their line of intersection.
I have calculated the implicit vector given by the cross product of the two normals, and from there derived a point on the line, but this is all done implicitly and seems rather vague. #
I'm thinking there may be something in the fact that the normals given are unit vectors, but I've become rather stuck.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Hint: if $\vec r$ is a positional vector, then the equations of the planes are $\vec n \cdot \vec r=3$ and $\vec m \cdot \vec r=7$. Does this help?
