Convert the Cartesian equation x/2 = (y−1)/3 = (z+2)/−1 into a vector equation.
Convert the Cartesian equation x/2 = (y−1)/3 = (z+2)/−1 into a vector equation.
- A. r = (j − 2k) + λ(2i + 3j − k)
- B. r = (2i + 3j − k) + λ(j − 2k)
- C. r = (i − 2k) + λ(2i + 3j + k)
- D. r = (−j + 2k) + λ(2i + 3j − k)
Answer: A) r = (j − 2k) + λ(2i + 3j − k)
Explanation: The point is (0, 1, −2) which is j − 2k. The parallel vector is 2i + 3j − k. So, r = (j − 2k) + λ(2i + 3j − k).
