By computing the shortest distance determine whether the following pairs of lines intersect or not :

and

Equation of line in vector form


Line I:



Line II:



Here,






The shortest distance between lines is












Putting these values in the expression,





Shortest distance d between the lines is not 0. So lines are not intersecting.
