Find vector and Cartesian equations of the line through (4,3,-5) with direction (-2,-5,3).

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: r=(4,3,-5)+t(-2,-5,3), t∈ℝ; Cartesian: (x−(4))/(-2)=(y−(3))/(-5)=(z−(-5))/(3).
  1. A line through A with nonzero direction d is r=A+td.
  2. Here A=(4,3,-5), d=(-2,-5,3). Its components are x=4 - 2*t, y=3 - 5*t, z=3*t - 5.
  3. r=(4,3,-5)+t(-2,-5,3), t∈ℝ; Cartesian: (x−(4))/(-2)=(y−(3))/(-5)=(z−(-5))/(3).

📋 CBSE Stepwise Marking Scheme

  • [0.5 marks] A line through A with nonzero direction d is r=A+td.
  • [1 mark] Here A=(4,3,-5), d=(-2,-5,3). Its components are x=4 - 2*t, y=3 - 5*t, z=3*t - 5.
  • [0.5 marks] r=(4,3,-5)+t(-2,-5,3), t∈ℝ; Cartesian: (x−(4))/(-2)=(y−(3))/(-5)=(z−(-5))/(3).
