4. A standard form for the equations of a line is:
x - x0 y - y0 z - z0
------ = ------ = ------
a b c
Here (x0, y0, z0) is a point on the line, and the numbers a, b, and c determine the direction along the line: the vector a*I = b*J + c*K is parallel to the line.
For the first line, i = 3j - 5k, or v1 = i - 3j + 5k
For the second line, 3i = bj + ak, or v2 = 3i - bj - ak
If these two vectors are parallel to each other, then v1 x v2 = ...
Solution Summary
Points are found that allow lines to be parallel or in the same plane. The solution is detailed and well presented. The response was given a rating of "5/5" by the student who originally posted the question.
