The vector equation of a line is Find its Cartesian equation.

Given : The vector equation of a line is


To find : Cartesian equation of the line


Formula used : If the vector equation of the line is given by


= p + q + r + λ (l + m + n) then its Cartesian equation is given by


= =


The vector equation of a line is


Here p = 2, q = 1, r = -4 and l = 1,m = -1,n = -1


Cartesian equation is given by


= =


= =
