Question
Find parametric equations and symmetric equations for the line.The line through $ (2, 1, 0) $ and perpendicular to both $ i + j $ and $ j + k $
Step 1
We can do this by taking the cross product of these two vectors. Let's denote $i + j$ as vector $a$ and $j + k$ as vector $b$. Vector $a$ can be written as $<1,1,0>$ and vector $b$ as $<0,1,1>$. Show more…

Find parametric equations and symmetric equations for the line. (Use the parameter t.) The line through (2, 1, 0) and perpendicular to both i + j and j + k (x(t), y(t), z(t)) = ( ) The symmetric equations are given by x - 2 = -(y - 1) = z. x + 2 = -(y + 1) = z. -(x - 2) = y - 1 = z. x + 2 = -(y + 1), z = 0. x - 2 = y - 1 = -z.
