Find the Cartesian equation of a line pa...

Find the Cartesian equation of a line passing through (1, -1, 2) and parallel to the line whose equations are `(x-3)/1=(y-1)/2=(z+1)/2dot` Also, reduce the equation obtained in vector form.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The cartesian equation of the line is

`` `frac{x-1}{1}=frac{y-(-1)}{2}=frac{z-2}{-2}`

`` Let this be equal to `lambda`

`frac{x-1}{1}=frac{y-(-1)}{2}`

`=frac{z-2}{-2}=lambda`

`{x}=1+lambda`,
`{y}=-1+2 lambda`,
...
