problem

One line is described by \[\begin{pmatrix} -1 \\ -3 \\ -5 \end{pmatrix} + t \begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ k \\ 7 \end{pmatrix}.\]Another line is described by \[\begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ 4 \\ 6 \end{pmatrix} + u \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 4 \\ 7 \end{pmatrix}.\]Find kk so that the lines are coplanar (i.e. there is a plane that contains both lines).
Plain-text mathematical notation (without MathML)
