Question
Find the vector equation of the line passing through the point having position vector

$-2 \hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k}$ and parallel to vector $4 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+2 \hat{k}$

Answer

The vector equation of the line passing through $\mathrm{A}(\bar{a})$ and parallel to the vector $\bar{b}$ is $\bar{r}=\bar{a}$

∴ the vector equation of the line passing through the point having position vector

$-2 \hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k}$ and parallel to the vector $4 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+2 \hat{k}$ is

$\bar{r}=(-2 \hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k})+\lambda(4 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+2 \hat{k})$
