Finding a line perpendicular to two parallel lines (parametric equations)? If line L1 has parametric equations x = 1+t y = 3-2t z = -2+2t L2 has equations: x= 4+s y = 2-2s z = -1+2s Find parametric equations for the line perpendicular to L1 and L2. What I did was find the directional vectors of the lines and crossed them (d1 x d2) to find the directional vector perpendicular to them which gave me [0,0,0]. so, I couldn't find any valid equation.
