If the straight lines $\frac{x-1}{k}=\frac{y-2}{2}=\frac{z-3}{3}$ and $\frac{x-2}{3}=\frac{y-3}{k}=\frac{z-1}{2}$ intersect at a point, then the integer $k$ is equal to
$-5$
5
2
$-2$
Solution
$\frac{x-1}{k}=\frac{y-2}{2}=\frac{z-3}{3}$ and $\frac{x-2}{3}=\frac{y-3}{k}=\frac{z-1}{2}$
Since lines intersect in a point
$
\begin{aligned}
& \left|\begin{array}{ccc}
k & 2 & 3 \\
3 & k & 2 \\
1 & 1 & -2
\end{array}\right|=0 \\
& \therefore 2 k^2+5 k-25=0 \\
& k=-5,5 / 2 .
\end{aligned}
