Class 12 Maths · Three Dimensional Geometry · Short Answer #39

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

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

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

📋 CBSE Stepwise Marking Scheme

  • [0.5 marks] A line through A with nonzero direction d is r=A+td.
