Find the Cartesian equation of the line which passes through the point (-2, 4, -5) and is parallel to the line

The equation of the given line is:


i.e.


Direction ratios of the given line are 3, -5 and 6


It is given that the required line is parallel to the given line.


∴ Direction Ratios of the required line = Direction Ratios of the given line.


So, the direction ratios of the required line are 3, -5 and 6


Thus, the equation of the straight line passing through (-2, 4, -5) and having direction ratios 3, -5, 6 is



i.e.
