Recall that if a line is parallel to the vector v and passes through the point P0, which is the tip of the position vector r0, then the vector equation of the line is given by r(t) = r0 + tv. For the given line, we have r0 = 7, −8, 3 and v = 1, 6, − 1 3 . So the vector equation for this line is r(t) = 7, −8, 3 + t 1, 6, − 1 3 = .

Answer:

The vector equation of the line is


\overrightarrow{r}=<7,-8,3>+t<1,6,-13>

Parametric equations for given line are


x=7+t\\y=-8+6t\\z=3-13t

Step-by-step explanation:

The vector equation of the line is given by


r(t) = r_(o) + tv

r₀ = (7, -8, 3)

v = (1, 6, -13)

At these points the vector equation for this line is:


\overrightarrow{r}=\overrightarrow{r_(o)}+t\overrightarrow{v}\\\overrightarrow{r}=<7,-8,3>+t<1,6,-13>

Parametric equations for given line are


x=7+t\\y=-8+6t\\z=3-13t
