If two planes intersect, they intersect in a line.

Setting z=t,z=t, we can find the equation of the line.

xy+2z=0    xy+2t=0    xy=2tx-y+2z=0\\ \implies x-y+2t=0\\ \implies x-y=-2t\\

3x+2y6z+4=0    3x+2y6t+4=0    3x+2y=4+6t3x+2y-6z+4=0\\ \implies 3x+2y-6t+4=0\\ \implies 3x+2y=-4+6t


2x2y=4t3x+2y=4+6t5x=4+2tx=0.8+0.4ty=x+2t=0.8+0.4t+2t=0.8+2.4t.2x-2y=-4t\\ 3x+2y=-4+6t\\ 5x=-4+2t\\ x=-0.8+0.4t\\ y=x+2t=-0.8+0.4t+2t=-0.8+2.4t.


The parametric equation for the intersection:

x=0.8+0.4t,y=0.8+2.4t,z=t.x=-0.8+0.4t,y=-0.8+2.4t,z=t.
