The equation of a plane is like Ax + By + Cz + D = 0.
The other plane is Ex + Fy + Gz + H = 0 .
The intersection is the line where both equations are equal.
Ax + By + Cz + D = Ex + Fy + Gz + H
So you rewrite this in the form of a line.
(A - E)x + (B - F)y + (C - G)z + D - H = 0
Now you analyze the slope any way you know how.
