The cartesian equation of a line is `3x+2=5y-4=3-z`.
Find a point on the line and its direction ratios, hence rewrite this equation in symmetric from and then reduce it to vector form.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`(-(2)/(3),(4)/(5),3);` direction ratios `(1)/(3),(1)/(5),-1;(x+(2)/(3))/((1)/(3))=(y-(4)/(5))/((1)/(5))=(z-3)/(-1)`;
`vec(r)=(-(2)/(3)hat(i)+(4)/(5)hat(j)+3hat(k))+t((1)/(3)hat(i)+(1)/(5)hat(j)-hat(k))`
