Ex 11.2, 6 Find the Cartesian equation of the line which passes through the point (โ€“ 2, 4, โ€“ 5) and parallel to the line given by (๐‘ฅ + 3)/3 = (๐‘ฆ โˆ’ 4)/5 = (๐‘ง + 8)/6. Equation of a line passing through (x1, y1, z1) and parallel to a line having direction ratios a, b, c is (๐‘ฅ โˆ’ ๐‘ฅ1)/๐‘Ž = (๐‘ฆ โˆ’ ๐‘ฆ1)/๐‘ = (๐‘ง โˆ’ ๐‘ง1)/๐‘ Since the line passes through (โˆ’2, 4, โˆ’5) ๐’™๐Ÿ = โˆ’2, y1 = 4, z1 = โˆ’5 Since the line is parallel to (๐‘ฅ + 3)/3 = (๐‘ฆ โˆ’ 4)/5 = (๐‘ง + 8)/6 ๐’‚ = 3, b = 5, c = 6 Therefore, Equation of line in Cartesian form is (๐‘ฅ โˆ’ (โˆ’2))/3 = (๐‘ฆ โˆ’ 4)/5 = (๐‘ง โˆ’ (โˆ’5))/6 (๐’™ + ๐Ÿ)/๐Ÿ‘ = (๐’š โˆ’ ๐Ÿ’)/๐Ÿ“ = (๐’› + ๐Ÿ“)/๐Ÿ”
