Find the vector equation of the line which is parallel to the vector
and which passes through the point (1,–2,3).
We are given with,
Vector = ![]()
Point = (1, -2, 3)
This point can be written in the form of vector as
.
Let,
![]()
![]()
We need to find the vector equation of the line which is parallel to the vector
and passes through the point
.
We know that,
Vector equation of a line passing through a point and parallel to a given vector is given as,
![]()
Where, λ ∈ ℝ
To re-phrase, we need to find
.
Just substitute values of the vectors
and
in the above equation. We get,
![]()
![]()
This can be further rearranged or just be represented as it is.
On rearranging,
![]()
![]()
![]()
Thus, the required vector equation of the line is
or can be written as
.
