    Vector form

    AHL 3.14

    A vector line is defined by specifying one fixed point on the line and a direction vector. If the fixed point is given by position vector a, and the direction vector by b, then the line in vector form is:

    r  ​=a+λb📖 =⎝⎛​a1​a2​a3​​⎠⎞​+λ⎝⎛​b1​b2​b3​​⎠⎞​​

    Here, λ∈R is a parameter that varies over all real numbers, generating every point on the line. Changing λ moves the point r along the direction of b, creating the full infinite line.


    Example

    Find the equation of the line passing through ⎝⎛​101​⎠⎞​ parallel to ⎝⎛​−123​⎠⎞​.

    ⎝⎛​101​⎠⎞​+λ⎝⎛​−123​⎠⎞​
