The equation of the line passing through (-2, 3, 4) and parallel to the vector 2i^−j^+k^2\hat{i} - \hat{j} + \hat{k} is:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Vector form of line: r⃗=a⃗+λb⃗\vec{r} = \vec{a} + \lambda \vec{b}, where a⃗\vec{a} is position vector of point and b⃗\vec{b} is direction vector.

a⃗=−2i^+3j^+4k^\vec{a} = -2\hat{i} + 3\hat{j} + 4\hat{k}, b⃗=2i^−j^+k^\vec{b} = 2\hat{i} - \hat{j} + \hat{k}.

So r⃗=(−2i^+3j^+4k^)+λ(2i^−j^+k^)\vec{r} = (-2\hat{i} + 3\hat{j} + 4\hat{k}) + \lambda(2\hat{i} - \hat{j} + \hat{k}).
