If the intersect curve of
and
are two lines
show that: 
My idea is: joint the two equations: 
then elimination one parameter: because
is a plane, so
so let's Assume
, then
, take into
in order to eliminate
, we
get: y^2 + \left(\frac {C^2}{A^2} - 1\right)z^2 + \frac {2BD}{A^2}y + \frac {2CD}{A^2}z + \frac {D^2}{A^2} - 1 = 0)
we know: it is a plane curve, and we know ,it replaces two plane lines if and only if : 
where:

and I want to get the conclusion from :
, But I failed, Help me :o

You have made a mistake here:
y^2 + \left(\frac {C^2}{A^2} - 1\right)z^2 + \frac {2BD}{A^2}y + \frac {2CD}{A^2}z + \frac {D^2}{A^2} - 1 = 0)
It should be
y^2 + \left(\frac {C^2}{A^2} - 1\right)z^2 + \frac{2BC}{A^2}yz + \frac {2BD}{A^2}y + \frac {2CD}{A^2}z + \frac {D^2}{A^2} - 1 = 0)
since the intersection are two lines, consider the above expression as a equation with y as unknown variable, simplify the equation by multiplying
, its discriminant
z^2-2A^2CDz+(A^4+B^2A^2-D^2A^2))
must be a perfect square expression containning z as variable. that is to say,
z^2-2CDz+(A^2+B^2-D^2))
is a perfect square expression with respect to z. thus its discriminant
(A^2+B^2-D^2)=0)
which gives
