Find the equation in vector form of a li...

Find the equation in vector form of a line which is parallel to the vector `hat(i)-2hat(j)+3hat(k)` and which passes through the point (1,-2,5). Reduce it to cartesian form.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`vec(r)=(hat(i)-2hat(j)+5hat(k))+t(hat(i)-2hat(j)+3hat(k));(x-1)/(1)=(y+2)/(-2)=(z-5)/(3)`
