Question : 8 of 29
Marks: +1, -0
Write the vector equation of the following line:
x53 = y+47 = 6z2
Solution:  
The given equation of line is x53 = y+47 = 6z2
i.e in standard form x53 = y(4)7 = z62
Comparing this equation with standard form xx1a = yy1b = zz1c
We get, x1 = 5 , y1 = - 4 , z1 = 6 , a = 3 , b = 7 , c = - 2
Thus, the required line is parallel to the vector 3i^+7j^2k^ and passes through the point (5, -4, 6).
The vector form of the line can be written as r = a+λb , where λ is a constant
Thus, the required equation is r = (5i^4j^+6k^) + λ (3i^+7j^2k^)
