Class 12 Maths · Three Dimensional Geometry · Short Answer #78

Find vector and Cartesian equations of the line through (1,2,3) with direction (-4,0,1).

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: r=(1,2,3)+t(-4,0,1), t∈ℝ; Cartesian: (x−(1))/(-4)=(z−(3))/(1); y=2.
  1. A line through A with nonzero direction d is r=A+td.
  2. Here A=(1,2,3), d=(-4,0,1). Its components are x=1 - 4*t, y=2, z=t + 3.
  3. r=(1,2,3)+t(-4,0,1), t∈ℝ; Cartesian: (x−(1))/(-4)=(z−(3))/(1); y=2.

📋 CBSE Stepwise Marking Scheme

  • [0.5 marks] A line through A with nonzero direction d is r=A+td.
  • [1 mark] Here A=(1,2,3), d=(-4,0,1). Its components are x=1 - 4*t, y=2, z=t + 3.
  • [0.5 marks] r=(1,2,3)+t(-4,0,1), t∈ℝ; Cartesian: (x−(1))/(-4)=(z−(3))/(1); y=2.
