Line of Intersection of Two Planes
  
It is difficult to visualize two planes in 3-D, not to mention locate their line of intersection.
There are three (3) steps involved:
[1] Locate the normal vectors for the planes.
[2] Compute and locate the cross product of the normal vectors.
[3] Find where the line of intersection pierces through a known plane.
 
As you rotate the graphics below, keep track of one (1) plane and its normal vector at a time.
