Finding plane equation given two lines

The first line is given by $$L_1:\frac{x-1}{2}=\frac{y+1}{-1}=\frac{z-5}{6}$$ and the symmetric form of the other line is $$L_2:\frac{x-1}{1}=\frac{y+1}{1}=\frac{z-5}{-3}.$$ Clearly, $L_1\cap L_2$ is the point $(1,-1,5)$. Clearly, $L_1$ and $L_2$ are not parallel. Write $$V_1=2\hat{i}-\hat{j}+6\hat{k}$$ and $$V_2=\hat{i}+\hat{j}-3\hat{k}.$$ Then, $$V_1\times V_2= \begin{vmatrix} \hat{i}&\hat{j}&\hat{k}\\ 2&-1&6\\ 1&1&-3\\ \end{vmatrix}=\hat{i}(3-6)-\hat{j}(-6-6)+\hat{k}(2+1)=-3\hat{i}+12\hat{j}+3\hat{k}.$$ Thus, the equation of the plane containing $L_1$ and $L_2$ is given by $$-3(x-1)+12(y+1)+3(z-5)=0.$$ That is, $$-3x+12y+3z=0.$$

You should go back and check your work. The point $(1,-1,5)$ obviously satisfies the first equation, and the lines aren’t parallel, so if you’re not getting that as the point of intersection you’re making a mistake somewhere along the way.

<1,−1,5> is a point on both lines so yes you can use it as it is in the plane.
