Solution

Suppose vector

\[\overrightarrow{a}\]  is passing through the points (1, -1 , 2) and (3, 4 , -2 ) and 

\[\overrightarrow{a}\]  is passing through the points (0, 3, 2) and (3, 5, 6). 

Then, 

\[\overrightarrow{a} = 2 \hat{i} + 5 \hat{j} - 4\stackrel\frown{k} \] 

\[ \overrightarrow{b} = 3 \hat{i} + 2 \hat{j} + 4 \stackrel\frown{k} \]

Now,

\[\overrightarrow{a} . \overrightarrow{b} = \left( 2 \hat{i} + 5 \hat{j} - 4 \stackrel\frown{k} \right) . \left( 3 \hat{i} + 2 \hat{j} + 4 \stackrel\frown{k}  \right) = 0\]

Hence, the given lines are perpendicular to each other.
