First, know that the vector that is in the direction of the line of intersection is the cross product between the normal vectors of the planes since it is perpendicular to each of them. A plane in the form
has a normal vector

Let be plane
and
be plane
. Then the two normal vectors are
and
.
A line has the parametric equation
Where point is any point on the line in the direction of
. So all we need now is a point on the line. The vector
has a
component of
which means at some value of t it must go through the plane
. Therefore, we can set
in the plane
and
equations then solve for the
and
coordinates.
Solving these equations gives and
. So a point that the plane goes through is
. Then an equation has for the line must be
The explicit parametric equations are:
