ANGLE BETWEEN TWO LINES
----------------------------------------------
₁₁₂₂ 
VECTOR FORM:
let the vector equations of the lines be r= a₁ + ¥b₁ and r= a₂ + ¥ b₂. These two lines are parallel to the vector b₁ and b₂ respectively. Therefore, angle between these two lines is equal to the angle between b₁ and b₂. Thus, if ¢ is the angle between the given lines, then
 Cos ¢=  b₁. b₂/(|b₁|.| b₂|)

*  CONDITION of perpendicularity:
If the lines b₁ and b₂ are perpendicular. Than, b₁. b₂= 0

* CONDITION of parallelism:
 If the lines are parallel, then b₁ and b₂ are parallel. 
    b₁ = K b₂ for some scalar K.

CARTESIAN FORM:
 (x - x₁)/a₁ = (y- y₁)/b₁=(z- z₁)/c₁.. (1)
And
  (x- x₂)/a₂= (y- y₂)/b₂ =(z - z₂)/c₂..(2)
*Direction Ratios of line (1) are proportional to a₁, b₁, c₁.
So m₁= Vector parallel to line (1)= a₁i + b₁j + c₁k
* Direction Ratios of line (2) are proportional to a₂, b₂, c₂.
So m₂= Vector parallel to line (2)= a₂i+ b₂j + c₂k

Let ¢ be the angle between (1) and (2). Then, ¢ is also the angle between m₁, m₂.
 Cos ¢= m₁. m₂/(|m₁|. |m₂|) OR

cos ¢= (a₁a₂+ b₁b₂+ c₁c₂)/{√(a₁²b₁²+c₁²) √(a₂²+b₂²+ c₂²)}

* CONDITION of perpendicularity:
If the lines are perpendicular, then
  m₁. m₂ = 0 => a₁a₂+ b₁b+ c₁c₂ = 0

* CONDITION of parallelism:
If the lines are parallel, then m₁ and m₂ are parallel.
Then m₁ = K m₂ for some scalar K.
=> a₁/a₂ = b₁/b₂= c₁/c₂.

ON FINDING THE ANGLE BETWEEN TWO LINES:
 FORMULA TO BE USED:
cos ¢= b₁. b₂/(|b₁|.| b₂|)  OR
