Find the symmetric equations (5.6)or5.7)and the parametric equations (5.8)of a line, and/or the equation (5.10)of the plane satisfying the following given conditions.

Line through (5,-4,2)and parallel to the line r=i-j+(5i-2j+k)t.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The symmetric equations of the line isx-55=y+4-2=z-21.

The parametric equation isr=(5i-4j+2k)+(5i-2j+k)t.

Step by step solution

01

Concept of the symmetric and parametric equations.

The symmetric equations of the line passing through (x0,y0,z0)and parallel toai+bj+ck is x-x0a=y-y0b=z-z0c;

The parametric equations of the line are r=(x0+at,y0+bt,z0+ct).

02

Determine the symmetric equation of a straight line.

The given point is (5,-4,2)and the line is localid="1657444744008" r=i-j+(5i-2j+k)t.

The given is in the form of localid="1657444831234" r=r0+At.So, we get

localid="1657444841062" A=ai+bj+ck

localid="1657444905467" a=5,b=-2,c=1

The symmetric equations of the line passing through localid="1657444920128" (5,-4,2)and parallel to localid="1657444912200" r=i-j+(5i-2j+k)tis given by

localid="1657444949999" x-x0a=y-y0b=z-z0c

localid="1657444956034" x-55=y-(-4)-2=z-21

localid="1657444964343" x-55=y+4-2=z-21

Thus, the required solution is localid="1657444970433" x-55=y+4-2=z-21.

03

Determine the parametric equation of a straight line.

The parametric equations of the straight line passing through (5,-4,2)and parallel to r=i-j+(5i-2j+k)tis given by

x=5+5t

y=-4-2t

z=2+t

Or

r=(5i-4j+2k)+(5i-2j+k)t.

Thus, the required solution isr=(5i-4j+2k)+(5i-2j+k)t.
