Write the vector equation of a line passing through the point (1, -1, 2) and parallel to the line whose equations are
Given : A line
To find : vector equation of a line passing through the point (1, -1, 2) and parallel
to the line whose equations are
Formula used : If a line is parallel to =
=
and passing through the point (p,q,r) then vector equation of the line is given by
= p
+ q
+ r
+ λ (l
+ m
+ n
)
The given line is =
=
Here p = 1 , q = -1 , c = 2 and l = 1 , m = 2 , n = 2
Substituting the above values,we get
= 1
- 1
+ 2
+ λ (1
+ 2
+ 2
)
The vector equation of a line passing through the point (1, -1, 2) and
parallel to the line whose equations are is given by
