About LinkBacksII need to find a vector parallel to the line of intersection between the plane 2x - y - 3z = 0 and the plane x + y + z = 1. I know I should know how to do this but my mind is drawing a complete blank!!!!! Thanks

The normal vector of the first plane is $\displaystyle \overrightarrow n _1 = 2{\mathbf{i}} - {\mathbf{j}} - 3{\mathbf{k}}
$ and the second is $\displaystyle \overrightarrow n _2 = {\mathbf{i}} + {\mathbf{j}} + {\mathbf{k}}$, note that they are linearly independent. So a vector parallel to the line of intersection of them is given by $\displaystyle \overrightarrow n _1 \times \overrightarrow n _2$
