Verified by Experts

Since vector equation of a line passing through a vector `bar{a}` and its parallel vector `bar{b}` is

` overline{{r}}=overline{{a}}+{t} overline{{b}}`

line passing through the vector `2 hat{i}-hat{j}+hat{k} `and its parallel vector is

` hat{i}+2 hat{j}+hat{k}-(-hat{i}+4 hat{j}+hat{k})`
