Line of Intersection of Two Planes Calculator

Planes use ax+by+cz=d. Their intersection is (x,y,z)=(x0,y0,z0)+t(dx,dy,dz) for any real t. Parallel or coincident planes are excluded.

Calculation method

Point on line x((d1*b2-d2*b1)*(a1*b2-b1*a2)-(d1*c2-d2*c1)*(c1*a2-a1*c2))/((b1*c2-c1*b2)^2+(c1*a2-a1*c2)^2+(a1*b2-b1*a2)^2)
Point on line y((d1*c2-d2*c1)*(b1*c2-c1*b2)-(d1*a2-d2*a1)*(a1*b2-b1*a2))/((b1*c2-c1*b2)^2+(c1*a2-a1*c2)^2+(a1*b2-b1*a2)^2)
Point on line z((d1*a2-d2*a1)*(c1*a2-a1*c2)-(d1*b2-d2*b1)*(b1*c2-c1*b2))/((b1*c2-c1*b2)^2+(c1*a2-a1*c2)^2+(a1*b2-b1*a2)^2)
