Find the vector equation in scalar product form of the plane that contains the lines.
$straight r with rightwards arrow on top space equals space left parenthesis straight i with hat on top space plus space straight j with hat on top right parenthesis space plus space straight s space left parenthesis straight i with hat on top space plus 2 space straight j with hat on top space minus space straight k with hat on top right parenthesis$
and $straight r with rightwards arrow on top space equals space open parentheses straight i with hat on top plus straight j with hat on top close parentheses plus straight t open parentheses negative straight i with hat on top space plus space straight j with hat on top space minus space 2 space straight k with hat on top close parentheses$

The equation of lines are

straight r with rightwards arrow on top space equals space straight i with hat on top space plus space straight j with hat on top space plus space straight s space open parentheses straight i with hat on top space plus space 2 space straight j with hat on top space minus space straight k with hat on top close parentheses

...(1)
and

straight r with rightwards arrow on top space equals space open parentheses straight i with hat on top plus straight j with hat on top close parentheses plus straight t open parentheses negative straight i with hat on top space plus space straight j with hat on top space minus space 2 space straight k with hat on top close parentheses

...(2)
Both the lines (1) and (2) pass through the point (1, 1, 0) whose position vector is

straight i with hat on top space plus space straight j with hat on top

.
Hence both the lines are intersecting and are coplanar.
The equation of any plane containing the line (1) is
A (x - 1) + B (y - 1) + C (z - 0) = 0 ...(3)
where A+ 2 B - C = 0 ...(4)
