Answer to Problem 61RE
The set of parametric equations of the line passing through the given points is
x=−1+4t , y=3+3t and z=5−6t
Explanation of Solution
Given:
A line passing through the points (−1,3,5) and (3,6,−1)
Concept Used:
A line L passing through the point P=(x1,y1,z1) and parallel to the
x=x1+at , y=y1+bt and z=z1+ct
Calculation:
Forthe line passing through the points (−1,3,5) and (3,6,−1)
Let P=(−1,3,5) and Q=(3,6,−1)
Then P=(−1,3,5) a direction vector for the line passing through P and Q is
v=→PQ=〈3+1,6−3,−1−5〉=〈4,3,−6〉
Using the coordinates of the initial point P=(−1,3,5)
x1=−1 , y1=3 and z1=5
And the direction numbers as
a=4 , b=3 and c=−6
The set of parametric equations of the line is
x=−1+4t , y=3+3t and z=5−6t
Conclusion:
The set of parametric equations of the line passing through the given points is
x=−1+4t , y=3+3t and z=5−6t

Answer to Problem 61RE
The set of symmetric equations of the line passing through the given points is
x+14=y−33=z−5−6
Explanation of Solution
Given:
A line passing through the points (−1,3,5) and (3,6,−1)
Concept Used:
A line L passing through the point P=(x1,y1,z1) and parallel to the vector v=〈a,b,c〉 is represented by the parametric equations
x=x1+at , y=y1+bt and z=z1+ct
When the direction numbers a , b and c are all nonzero, then symmetric equations of the line is given by
x−x1a=y−y1b=z−z1c
Calculation:
For the line passing through the points (−1,3,5) and (3,6,−1)
Let P=(−1,3,5) and Q=(3,6,−1)
Then P=(−1,3,5) a direction vector for the line passing through P and Q is
v=→PQ=〈3+1,6−3,−1−5〉=〈4,3,−6〉
Using the coordinates of the initial point P=(−1,3,5)
x1=−1 , y1=3 and z1=5
And the direction numbers as
a=4 , b=3 and c=−6
Since, the direction numbers a , b and c are all nonzero, the symmetric equations of the line is given by
x+14=y−33=z−5−6
Conclusion:
The set of symmetric equations of the line passing through the given points is
x+14=y−33=z−5−6
