To find the intersection of the line through a point $(p, q, r)$ perpendicular to plane $P_{1}$ $a x + b y + c z = d$ and plane $P_{2}$ $e x + f y + g z = h$ :

1. Find the normal vectors of plane $P_{1}$ and plane $P_{2}$ where the normal vectors are $n_{1} = 〈 a, b, c 〉$ and $n_{2} = 〈 e, f, g 〉$ . Check to see if the dot product is 0.

2. Create a set of parametric equations such that $x = p + a t$ , $y = q + b t$ , and $z = r + c t$ .

3. Substitute these equations into the equation for plane $P_{2}$ such that $e (p + a t) + f (q + b t) + g (r + c t) = h$ and solve for $t$ .

4. Using the value of $t$ , solve the parametric equations $x = p + a t$ , $y = q + b t$ , and $z = r + c t$ for $t$ to find the intersection $(x, y, z)$ .
