Find the vector equation of a line throu...

Find the vector equation of a line through the point (5, 2, -4) and which is parallel to the vector
`3 hat(i) + 2 hat(j) - 8hatk ?`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`veca = 5 hati + 2 hat j - 4hatk `
We know that equation of line passing through a point having position vector `veca` and which is
paralle to `vec(b)`
`vecr =(5 hati + 2 hatj - 4 hatk)+lambda(underline(3hati)+2hatj -8hatk)`
`vecr= veca + lambda vecb`
