Key Points: Coplanarity of Two Lines

Vector Form:

Condition for coplanarity of two lines:

Two lines r = a₁ + λb₁ and r = a₂ + μb₂ are coplanar if

(a₁ − a₂) · (b₁ × b₂) = 0

Equation of the plane containing both lines:

\[\left(\overline{\mathbf{r}}-\overline{\mathbf{a}_1}\right).\left(\overline{\mathbf{b}_1}\times\overline{\mathbf{b}_2}\right)=\mathbf{0}\] or \[\left(\overline{\mathbf{r}}-\overline{\mathbf{a}_2}\right).\left(\overline{\mathbf{b}_1}\times\overline{\mathbf{b}_2}\right)=\mathbf{0}\]

Cartesian Form:

\[\begin{vmatrix} x_2-x_1 & y_2-y_1 & z_2-z_1 \\ \mathbf{a}_1 & \mathbf{b}_1 & \mathbf{c}_1 \\ \mathbf{a}_2 & \mathbf{b}_2 & \mathbf{c}_2 \end{vmatrix}=0\]
