Q21 of 33 Page 11

Find the vector equation of the line passing through the point A(1, 2, –1) and parallel to the line 5x – 25 = 14 – 7y = 35z.

firstly we need to resolve the given line

The given line can be written as



We need to make the coefficients of x, y, z equal to 1


Therefore the line becomes as follows



Therefore the of the given line are
