Answer to the above question -

we know that, Diagonals of square are perpendicular bisectors of each other.

And the slopes of two perpendicular lines are negative reciprocal of each other. This means that if a line is perpendicular to a line that has slope m, then the slope of the other line is -1/m.

Given, Slope of diagonal GE = 3 ( Equation of the line is in the form of y= mx + c. Here m is the slope.)

Then slope of diagonal FH = -1/3.

Does the line with equation (x, y, z) = (5, -4, 6) + u(1,4,-2) lie in the plane with equation (x, y, z) = (3, 1, 2) + s(1,2,-1) + t(2, -1, 1)? If it does not lie on this plane you must solve for where it intersects. Justify your answer algebraically. If the line does not lie on the plane what is  the angle between them?
