The line of intersection of two planes r n 1 = p 1 and r

Question:

The line of intersection of two planes r · n1 = p1 and r · n2 = p2 lies in both planes. It is therefore perpendicular to both n1 and n2. Give an expression for this direction, and so show that the equation of the line of intersection may be written as r = r0 + t(n1 × n2), where r0 is any vector satisfying r0 · n1 = p1 and r0 · n2 = p2. Hence find the line of intersection of the planes r · (1, 1, 1) = 5 and r · (4, 1, 2) = 15.
