Q.3:[30 marks] Determine the parametric equations for the line segment from (2, -1) to (1,4).
Added by Rachel M.
Step 1
The direction vector is given by (x2 - x1, y2 - y1) where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of the two points. So, the direction vector is (1 - 2, 4 - (-1)) = (-1, 5). Show more…
