From line L:x−13=y−(−1)2=z−15
We get Point A(¯¯b)=(1,−1,1) and direction is ¯l=(3,2,5) and from line
M:x+24=y−13=z+1−2
We get point B(¯¯b)=(−2,1,−1) and direction is ¯¯¯¯¯m=(4,3,−2)
Now, ¯lׯ¯¯¯¯m=(3,2,5)×(4,3,−2)=(∣∣∣253−2∣∣∣,−∣∣∣354−2∣∣∣,∣∣∣3243∣∣∣)
=(3,−2,2).3(−19,26,1)=57−52+2
∴¯lׯ¯¯¯¯m=107≠0
Hence the given lines are skew lines
