Finding the parametric and vector forms of the line is perpendicular to two lines

multivariable-calculus

Finding the parametric and vector forms of the line is perpendicular to lines $(4t,1+2t,3t)$ and $(−1+s,−7+2s,−12+3s)$

And passes through the point of the intersection of two lines

A vector perpendicular to these lines is $$v = (4, 2, 3) \times (1, 2, 3) = [0, -9, 6]$$

How would I write the vector / parametric form?

We have found the direction vector $\vec v$ for the perpendicular line, now we need the intersection point $P_0$ to determine the parametric equation

$$P(t)=P_0+t\vec v$$
