    Solution:

    The given planes are x+y2z=0 and 3x+2y+z5=0 x=5,y=-5

    Plug in z=0 to get a point on the line. 

    x+y=0,3x+2y-5=0

    solve the above two equations, we get x=5,y=-5 

    A point on the line is 5,-5,0

    Vector along the line is cross product of two normal vectors to the planes 

    it gives n1×n2=ijk112321=i(5)j(7)+k(1)

    Direction ratios of a line of intersection of two planes are proportional to 5,7,1

    Therefore, the equation of the required line is x55=y+57=z1
