Concept:

 The equation of a line with direction ratio (a, b, c) that passes through the point (x1, y1, z1) is given by the formula: \(\rm \frac{{x - {x_1}}}{a} = \frac{{y - {y_1}}}{b} = \frac{{z - {z_1}}}{c}\)

If two planes intersect each other, the intersection will always be a line.

 

Calculation:

Given:

x = 3z + 4 and y = 2z - 3

⇒ x - 4 = 3z and y + 3 = 2z

\(\rm \Rightarrow \frac{x - 4}{3} = z \;\text{and} \ \frac{y + 3}{2} = z\)

\(\rm \Rightarrow \frac{x - 4}{3} = \frac{y + 3}{2} = \frac{z}{1}\)

If two planes intersect each other, the intersection will always be a line.

Now,  direction ratios of the line are 〈3, 2, 1〉
