Stats II Question ? [Prev. Q.] [Next Q.] [Prev. Chap.] [Next Chap.] [goto]

Find the equation of the line that passes through the point (2,3,1) and is parallel to the line of intersection of the planes, x + 2y -3z = 4 and x - 2y + z = 0 x = 2+t, y = 3+t, z = 1-t [(x-2)/2] = [(y-3)/3] = [(z-1)/1] [(x+2)/2] = [(y+3)/3] = [(z+1)/1] [(x+2)/1] = [(y+3)/1] = [(z+1)/1] Position vector p = 2i+3j+k and direction v = i+j+k.
