ok so

#

if these two things intersect along a line

#

you could maybe just find 2 points on the intersection

#

and just draw the line @ember bloom

ember bloom
#

draw a 3d line?

fresh estuary
#

you dont need to draw it

ember bloom
#

i think its a 3 way prism

fresh estuary
#

its not

ember bloom
#

oh

#

Long day

#

do cross product to find parallel vector

#

idk how to find a point on the line though

fresh estuary
#

you can like

#

just choose x=1

#

and then you have sim equations!

minor crane
#

can you choose any value

#

for x,y,z

ember bloom
#

i thought cross finds normal

fresh estuary
#

yeah

minor crane
#

it will find a normal to where the two normals meet

#

which is parallel to the line of intersection

ember bloom
#

oh and will that be parallel

minor crane
#

yeah

ember bloom
#

oh

minor crane
#

but if i let x=1, I wont get what they want, which is x=4, so do I need to look at what they want and choose that, so in this case, x=4 or y= 3 or z=1

minor crane
# fresh estuary yeah

but in a question to find a line of intersection without being a show that, I can sub in any value of x,y,z

fresh estuary
#

yep

#

usually its a safe bet to not choose 0 tho

#

cuz sometimes 0 fucks it a bit

minor crane
#

in a paper i did the other day, x=0 worked

#

There

ember bloom
#

is that the solutio

loud fern
#

Yh

ember bloom
#

thanks!

#

i j k should be vertical fr

minor crane
#

Whaaytttyy, it’s always at the top vertical

#

I don’t know why you’d need the cross product

#

lit just make them all vector equations and show a general point on the line lies on both planes

#

as they share a line it means by force they have an intersection along that line

It’s just one of the numbers they want in the answer. If it wasn’t a show that q, I would’ve used any number
