The Cartesian equation of the line passing through the point (1, 2, -1) and parallel to the line is
The Cartesian equation of the line passing through the point (1, 2, -1) and parallel to the line is
Solution
✅ Correct Option: 2
The line must pass through point (1, 2, -1) and be parallel to the line .
Parallel lines have the same direction ratios.
The given line is:
Setting each expression equal to parameter :
From :
From :
From :
The coefficients of give direction ratios:
Multiplying by 35 (the LCM):
Direction ratios are (7, -5, 1)
The line passes through (1, 2, -1) with direction ratios (7, -5, 1).
Using the standard form:
