The equation of line is ` 2x - 2 = 3y + 1 = 6z - 2 ` find its direction ratios and also find the vector equation of the line .

Answer» Given equation is ` 2x - 2 = 3y + 1 = 6z - 2 `
i.e. `(x -1)/((1)/(2)) = (y + (1)/(3))/((1)/(3)) = (z - (1)/(3))/((1)/(6))`
The line passes through the point whose position
vector is ` bar a ` .
` therefore vara = hati - (1)/(3) hatj + (1)/(3) hatk `
and direction ratios of line are ` (1)/(2), (1)/(3), (1)/(6) or 3,2,1`.
` therefore barb = 3hati + 2hatj + hatk `
Hence , vector equation of line is ` barr = bara + lambda barb `
`therefore barr = (hati - (1)/(3) hatj +(1)/(3) hatk) + lambda (3 hati + 2hatj + 3hatk)` .
