1. Show that six (or more) lines that have a common line of intersection (a common transversal) are linearly dependent. (Hint: put the common transversal on the z-axis and write down the matrix of coordinates of six lines that are general except that for each line R = 0.) Is it necessary to bring the quadratic identity, eqn (3.5), to bear on your solution?
