Lesson: Equation of a Straight Line in Space: Parametric Form Mathematics

In this lesson, we will learn how to find the parametric equations of straight lines in space.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

find the parametric equations of straight lines in space given a point and a direction vector or given two points,
convert Cartesian and vector equations of lines in space into parametric equations.

Q1:

Find the parametric equations of the straight line .

Q2:

Give the parametric equation of the line on point , with direction vector .

Q3:

Determine the parametric equations of the straight line passing through the points and .
