Question

If able please provide a visual representation , this question is from linear algebra:

Let P and Q be two distinct points in space. Choose an origin O and denote the corresponding vectors as p and q. Provide a parameter representation of the line passing through P and Q in terms of p and q.

Expert Solution
Step 1: To find the vector equation of a plane:

L e t space r with rightwards arrow on top b e space t h e space p o s i t i o n space v e c t o r space o f space a space p o i n t space o n space t h e space l i n e.
A n d space l e t space lambda space b e space a space s c a l a r.
T h e n space stack P Q space with rightwards arrow on top equals open parentheses q with rightwards arrow on top minus p with rightwards arrow on top close parentheses
