Q10 of 45 Page 1

If the cartesian equations of a line are write the vector equation for the line.

Vector equation for the line is given by


Where is the point on line and is the direction of lithe ne and λ is any constant


Given the cartesian form of a line





Comparing with a standard cartesian form of the equation


Where the point on line is (a1, a2, a3) and (b1, b2, b3) is direction of the line


(a1, a2, a3) = (3, -4, 3) and (b1, b2, b3) = (-5, 7, 2)


Hence and


The vector equation of the line is .
