Q9 of 29 Page 1

Find the Cartesian and Vector equations of the line which passes through the point (2,4,5) and parallel to the line given by.

We know that, any line passing through a (x1, y1, z1) and having direction ratios a, b and c has equation



Now, can be written as


The line has direction ratios 3, 5 and 6


Now, line passing through (2, 4, 5) and direction ratios 3, 5 and -6 will have equation
