Question
Find the vector equation of the line passing through the point having position vector $4 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+2 \hat{k}$ and parallel to vector $-2 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+\hat{k}$

Answer

The equation of the line passing through $\mathrm{A}(\bar{a})$ and parallel to vector $\bar{b}$ is $\bar{r}=\bar{a}+\lambda \bar{b}$. The equation of the line passing through $4 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+2 \hat{k}$ and parallel to vector $-2 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+\hat{k}$ is $\bar{r}=(4 \hat{\imath}-\hat{j}+2 \hat{k})+\lambda(-2 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+\hat{k})$.
