Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

We know that

The Cartesian equation of a line through a point (x₁, y₁, z₁) and having direction ratios a, b, c is .

Here, The point (x₁, y₁, z₁) is (-2, 4, -5) and the direction ratios are:

a = 3, b = 5, c = 6

⇒ The Cartesian equation of the required line is:
