To find the vector equation of the line given in Cartesian form as \((x+3)/2 = (y-5)/4 = (z+6)/2\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Direction Ratios From the given equation, we can identify the direction ratios of the line. The equation can be rewritten as: \[ \frac{x + 3}{2} = \frac{y - 5}{4} = \frac{z + 6}{2} \] From this, we can see that the direction ratios \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\) are: ...
