Question
Find the coordinates of a point $P$ on the line and a vector $v$ parallel to the line.$$x=4 t, \quad y=5-t, \quad z=4+3 t$$
Step 1
The parameter is $t$. The constants in the equations represent a point on the line. So, we can find the coordinates of a point $P$ on the line by setting $t=0$ in the equations. Show more…
