Question

Solution

Let A be point having position vector `veca = -hati - hatj + 2hatk`.

The required Line is parallel to the line `vecr = (hati + 2hatj + 3hatk) + λ(3hati + 2hatj + hatk)`

∴ It is parallel to the vector `vecb = 3hati + 2hatj + hatk`

The vector equation of the line passing through A`(veca)` and parallel to `vecb` is r = `veca + λvecb` where λ is a scalar.

∴ The required vector equation of the line is `vecr = (-hati - hatj + 2hatk) + λ(3hati + 2hatj + hatk)`.
