Solution to Exercise 3.11.
A
mathematician is a device for turning coffee into theorems.
—Paul Erdős (1913–1996)
Exercise 3.11. Find the line l[l1, l2, l3] that contains the
points (3, 5, 1) and (–7, 3, 1).
Hence, by Proposition 3.1, the equation of the line is Evaluate the determinant to obtain x1 – 5x2 + 22 = 0. Thus the line is [1, –5, 22].
