Marks: +1, -0
The cartesian equation of a line is x−53=y+47=z−62\frac{x-5}{3}=\frac{y+4}{7}=\frac{z-6}{2} . Write its vector form.
Solution:  
The given cartesian equation (in symmetrical form) is x−53=y+47=z−62\frac{x-5}{3}=\frac{y+4}{7}=\frac{z-6}{2}
⇒ The line passes through the point (5, – 4, 6) and is parallel to vector 3i^+7j^+2k^.3\hat{i}+7\hat{j}+2\hat{k}.
Hence, the vector equation of the line is
r⃗=(5i^−4j^+6k^)\vec{r}= (5\hat{i}-4\hat{j}+6\hat{k}) +λ(3i^+7j^+2k^).+\lambda(3\hat{i}+7\hat{j}+2\hat{k}).
