I have the equation of a sphere x^2+y^2+z^2 = 36 and two points in three space P(-3,-10,2) and Q(5,14,8) and I need to show that the line between the points intersects the sphere graphically and analytically, but I cant even figure out how to graph them, and I have a suspicion, but am not sure, that to prove it analytically I would find the equation of the line in three space between the points and prove that the line equals the equation of the sphere in two places, but I cant figure out how to find that equation either. I dont want just answers, but if someone could lead me in the right direction I'd be extremely grateful!
