How do you find the vector equation and parametric equations for the line through (0, 14, -10)(0,14,10) and parallel to the line:x = -1+2t, y = 6-3t, z = 3+9tx=1+2t,y=63t,z=3+9t?

{ (x = 2t), (y=14-3t), (z = -10+9t) :}

Explanation:

The usual parametric representation is written as

p=p_0+t vec v.

Here we have

p = {x,y,z}
p_0 = {-1,6,3}
t in RR
vec v = {2,-3,9}

So, given

p_1 = {0,14,-10}

the parallel line is given by

p = p_1 + t vec v

which detailed is

{ (x = 2t), (y=14-3t), (z = -10+9t) :}
