Line through and parallel to the line .
Answer
The symmetric equations of the line is .
The parametric equation is .
Step-by-Step Solution
Step 1: Concept of the symmetric and parametric equations
The symmetric equations of the line passing through and parallel to is
The parametric equations of the line are
Step 2: Determine the symmetric equation of a straight line
The given point is and the line is .
The given line is in the form of . So, we get

For each of the following problems write and row reduce the augmented matrix to find out whether the given set of equations has exactly one solution, no solutions, or an infinite set of solutions. Check your results by computer. Warning hint:Be sure your equations are written in standard form. Comment: Remember that the point of doing these problems is not just to get an answer (which your computer will give you), but to become familiar with the terminology, ideas, and notation we are using.
