The correct Answer is:
To find the equation of the line in vector form that passes through the point \((-1, 3, 5)\) and is parallel to the given line, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Line**: The given line is represented as: \[ \frac{x - 3}{2} = \frac{y - 4}{3} = z - 2 \] This can be interpreted as a parametric equation of the line. 2. **Extract Direction Ratios**: From the equation, we can rewrite it in the form: \[ \frac{x - 3}{2} = \frac{y - 4}{3} = \frac{z - 2}{0} \] Here, the direction ratios of the line can be taken as \(2, 3, 0\). 3. **Determine the Point and Direction Vector**: The point through which our new line passes is given as \((-1, 3, 5)\), which can be represented as a position vector: \[ \mathbf{a} = -1 \mathbf{i} + 3 \mathbf{j} + 5 \mathbf{k} \] The direction vector \(\mathbf{b}\) corresponding to the direction ratios \(2, 3, 0\) is: \[ \mathbf{b} = 2 \mathbf{i} + 3 \mathbf{j} + 0 \mathbf{k} \] 4. **Write the Vector Equation of the Line**: The vector equation of a line can be expressed as: \[ \mathbf{r} = \mathbf{a} + \lambda \mathbf{b} \] Substituting the values of \(\mathbf{a}\) and \(\mathbf{b}\): \[ \mathbf{r} = (-1 \mathbf{i} + 3 \mathbf{j} + 5 \mathbf{k}) + \lambda (2 \mathbf{i} + 3 \mathbf{j} + 0 \mathbf{k}) \] 5. **Simplify the Equation**: This can be simplified to: \[ \mathbf{r} = (-1 + 2\lambda) \mathbf{i} + (3 + 3\lambda) \mathbf{j} + 5 \mathbf{k} \] ### Final Vector Equation: Thus, the vector equation of the line is: \[ \mathbf{r} = (-1 + 2\lambda) \mathbf{i} + (3 + 3\lambda) \mathbf{j} + 5 \mathbf{k} \]
