Find the cartesian as well as the vector equation of the line passing through :
(i) (-2, 4, -5) and parallel to the line :
` (x + 3)/(3) = (4 -y)/(5) = (z + 8)/(6)`
(ii) (0,-1,4) and parallel to the straight line :
`(-x-2)/(1) = (y + 3)/(7) - (2z - 6)/(3)`.
(iii) (-1, 2,3) and parallel to the line :
`(x - 3)/(2) = (y + 1)/(3) = (z - 1)/(6)`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the Cartesian and vector equations of lines that pass through given points and are parallel to specified lines. ### (i) Line through point (-2, 4, -5) parallel to the line given by: \[ \frac{x + 3}{3} = \frac{4 - y}{5} = \frac{z + 8}{6} \] **Step 1: Identify the direction ratios of the given line.** From the equation, we can extract the direction ratios: - \( a = 3 \) - \( b = -5 \) - \( c = 6 \) **Step 2: Write the vector equation of the line.** The vector equation of a line passing through a point \( P(x_1, y_1, z_1) \) with direction ratios \( (a, b, c) \) is given by: \[ \vec{r} = \vec{r_0} + t \vec{d} \] Where \( \vec{r_0} \) is the position vector of the point and \( \vec{d} \) is the direction vector. Here, \( \vec{r_0} = (-2, 4, -5) \) and \( \vec{d} = (3, -5, 6) \). Thus, the vector equation is: \[ \vec{r} = (-2, 4, -5) + t(3, -5, 6) \] **Step 3: Write the Cartesian equation of the line.** Using the point-direction form: \[ \frac{x + 2}{3} = \frac{y - 4}{-5} = \frac{z + 5}{6} \] ### (ii) Line through point (0, -1, 4) parallel to the line given by: \[ \frac{-x - 2}{1} = \frac{y + 3}{7} = \frac{2z - 6}{3} \] **Step 1: Identify the direction ratios of the given line.** From the equation, we can extract the direction ratios: - \( a = -1 \) - \( b = 7 \) - \( c = 3 \) **Step 2: Write the vector equation of the line.** Using the point \( (0, -1, 4) \): \[ \vec{r} = (0, -1, 4) + t(-1, 7, 3) \] **Step 3: Write the Cartesian equation of the line.** Using the point-direction form: \[ \frac{x - 0}{-1} = \frac{y + 1}{7} = \frac{z - 4}{3} \] ### (iii) Line through point (-1, 2, 3) parallel to the line given by: \[ \frac{x - 3}{2} = \frac{y + 1}{3} = \frac{z - 1}{6} \] **Step 1: Identify the direction ratios of the given line.** From the equation, we can extract the direction ratios: - \( a = 2 \) - \( b = 3 \) - \( c = 6 \) **Step 2: Write the vector equation of the line.** Using the point \( (-1, 2, 3) \): \[ \vec{r} = (-1, 2, 3) + t(2, 3, 6) \] **Step 3: Write the Cartesian equation of the line.** Using the point-direction form: \[ \frac{x + 1}{2} = \frac{y - 2}{3} = \frac{z - 3}{6} \] ### Summary of Results: 1. For point (-2, 4, -5): - Vector Equation: \( \vec{r} = (-2, 4, -5) + t(3, -5, 6) \) - Cartesian Equation: \( \frac{x + 2}{3} = \frac{y - 4}{-5} = \frac{z + 5}{6} \) 2. For point (0, -1, 4): - Vector Equation: \( \vec{r} = (0, -1, 4) + t(-1, 7, 3) \) - Cartesian Equation: \( \frac{x - 0}{-1} = \frac{y + 1}{7} = \frac{z - 4}{3} \) 3. For point (-1, 2, 3): - Vector Equation: \( \vec{r} = (-1, 2, 3) + t(2, 3, 6) \) - Cartesian Equation: \( \frac{x + 1}{2} = \frac{y - 2}{3} = \frac{z - 3}{6} \)
