Solution

To find the vector form of the line of intersection of the two planes, we need to solve the system of equations represented by the two planes.

Step 1: Set up the system of equations The two plane equations are:

  1. 3x + 5y + 2z = 1
  2. 3x + 2z = 0

Step 2: Solve the system of equations We can solve the system of equations by substitution or elimination. In this case, we can subtract equation 2) from equation 1) to eliminate x:

(3x + 5y + 2z) - (3x + 2z) = 1 - 0 5y = 1 y = 1/5

Substitute y = 1/5 into equation 1): 3x + 5(1/5) + 2z = 1 3x + 1 + 2z = 1 3x + 2z = 0 x = -2z/3

Step 3: Write the vector form of the line The vector form of a line in 3D space is given by r = a + tb, where r is the position vector of a point on the line, a is the position vector of a point on the line, t is the parameter, and b is the direction vector of the line.

In this case, a point on the line is (0, 1/5, 0) and the direction vector of the line is (1, 0, -2/3). So, the vector form of the line is:

r = (0, 1/5, 0) + t(1, 0, -2/3) = (t, 1/5, -2t/3)

Therefore, the vector form of the line of intersection of the two planes is r = (t, 1/5, -2t/3).
