Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The points `A(4,5,10), B(2,3,4)` and `C(1,2,-1)` are three vertices of parallelogram ABCD.

Let coordinates of `D` be `(x, y, z)`

Direction vector along `A B` is

`` `vec{a}=(2-4) hat{i}+(3-5) hat{j}+(4-10) hat{k}=-2 hat{i}-2 hat{j}-6 hat{k}`

`` `therefore` Equation of line `A B`, is given by

`` ...
