Lesson Plan: Equation of a Straight Line in Space: Parametric Form Mathematics
This lesson plan includes the objectives and prerequisites of the lesson teaching students how to find the parametric equations of straight lines in space.
Objectives
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.
Prerequisites
Students should already be familiar with
- finding the equation of a straight line in the plane,
- finding the Cartesian and vector equations of lines in space.
