Solution

Let A be the point whose position vector is a = `5hat"i" + 4hat"j" + 3hat"k"`.

Let `bar"b"` be the vector parallel to the line having direction ratio = –3, 4, 2

Then, `bar"b" = -3hat"i" + 4hat"j" + 2hat"k"`

The vector equation of the line passing through `"A"(bara)` and parallel to `bar"b"  "is"  bar"r" = bar"a" + lambdabar"b"`, where λ is a scalar.

∴ The required vector equation of the line is `bar"r" = 5hat"i" + 4hat"j" + 3hat"k" + lambda(-3hat"i" + 4hat"j" + 2hat"k").`
