Question
## Determining the Relationship Between Two Lines

### Problem Statement:
Determine whether the lines \( L_1 \) and \( L_2 \) are parallel, skew, or intersecting.

### Equations of Lines:

**Line \( L_1 \):**
\[ x = 8 - 9t \]
\[ y = 7 + 3t \]
\[ z = 9 - 12t \]

**Line \( L_2 \):**
\[ x = 7 + 6s \]
\[ y = -2s \]
\[ z = 9 + 8s \]

### Options:
- Parallel
- Skew
- Intersecting

### Intersection Point (If applicable):
If the lines intersect, find the point of intersection. (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.)

#### Input Box:
[In the format of a filled head rectangle]

---

### Instructions:

To determine the relationship between the lines:
1. Compare the direction vectors of the two lines to see if they are parallel.
2. If the direction vectors are not parallel, solve for the parameters \( t \) and \( s \) to see if there is an intersection point.
3. If the lines are neither parallel nor intersecting, they are skewed.

Enter your answer by checking the appropriate box and supplying an intersection point if the lines intersect.
