(a)

\\[\\boldsymbol{r} = \\var{vector(a,b,g)} + \\lambda \\var{vector(c,d,f)}\\]

(b)

\\[\\boldsymbol{r} = \\var{vector(a1,b1,g1)} + \\mu \\var{vector(c1,d1,f1)}\\]

(c)

Since the two lines intersect at $\\boldsymbol{P}$, we must have that

\\[ \\var{vector(a,b,g)} + \\lambda \\var{vector(c,d,f)} = \\var{vector(a1,b1,g1)} + \\mu \\var{vector(c1,d1,f1)}\\]

at point $\\boldsymbol{P}$

Hence we can write out a set of simultaneous equations for each component of $\\boldsymbol{P}$:

\\begin{align}
\\simplify[]{{a} + lambda*{c}} &= \\simplify[]{{a1} + mu*{c1}} \\\\
\\simplify[]{{b} + lambda*{d}} &= \\simplify[]{{b1} + mu*{d1}} \\\\
\\simplify[]{{g} + lambda*{f}} &= \\simplify[]{{g1} + mu*{f1}}
\\end{align}

By solving these equations, we find that the point $\\boldsymbol{P}$ common to both lines is given by $\\lambda=\\var{lam},\\mu=\\var{mu}$, and

\\[\\boldsymbol{P} = \\var{p}\\]
