Find the equation of a line which pas...

Find the equation of a line which passes through the point `(2,3,4)` and which has equal intercepts on the axes.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Since line has equal intercepts on axes, it is equally inclined to axes.
`rArr" "` Line is along the vector `a(hati+hatj+hatk)`
`rArr" "` Equation of line `=(x-2)/(1)=(y-3)/(1)=(z-4)/(1)`
