Question : 11 of 78
Marks: +1, -0
Find the cartesian equation of the line which passes through the point (–2, 4, –5) and parallel to the line given by x+33=y45=z+86.\frac{x+3}{3} = \frac{y-4}{5} = \frac{z+8}{6} .
Solution:  
As the required line is parallel to the line x+33=y45=z+86\frac{x+3}{3} = \frac{y-4}{5} = \frac{z+8}{6}
therefore, the line has direction ratios < 3, 5, 6 >.
Also, the line passes through (–2, 4, –5). Therefore, the equation of the line in (cartesian form) is
x(2)3=y45=z(5)6\frac{x-(-2)}{3} = \frac{y-4}{5} = \frac{z-(-5)}{6}
x+23=y45=z+56\Rightarrow \frac{x+2}{3} = \frac{y-4}{5} = \frac{z+5}{6}
