Find parametric equations for the line through point P(-4,5,2) in the direction of the vector (-6,6,-5)

The vector <em>v</em> (-6, 6, -5) points in the direction of itself, so we start there.

We can capture all points on the line through the origin and the point (-6, 6, -5) by scaling <em>v</em> by an arbitrary real number <em>t</em>.

The line through point <em>P</em> and pointing in the same direction as <em>v</em> is parallel to the other line that passes through the origin. Then the line we want can be obtained by translating the line through the origin by a vector <em>p</em> that points to (-4, 5, 2), so the vector equation for this line is

<em>r </em>(<em>t </em>) = <em>p</em> + <em>t v</em>

<em>r </em>(<em>t </em>) = (-4, 5, 2) + <em>t</em> (-6, 6, -5)

<em>r </em>(<em>t </em>) = (-4 - 6<em>t</em>, 5 + 6<em>t</em>, 2 - 5<em>t</em> )

To get the parametric equations, simply take out the components:

<em>x</em> (<em>t</em> ) = -4 - 6<em>t</em>

<em>y </em>(<em>t</em> ) = 5 + 6<em>t</em>

<em>z</em> (<em>t</em> ) = 2 - 5<em>t</em>

choli [55]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First Add the scores.

Score Total = 787 + 615 + 550 + 674 + 784+ 773 + 620 + 720 + 704

Score Total = 6227

Now divide by the number of members of the sum.

Number of members = 9

The average score = Total Score / number of members

The average score = 6227 / 9 = 691.9

The average score = 692 which is C

what is the value of 8/15÷(-0.35) A -75/14 B -32/21 C -21/32 D -14/75 I would really appreciate it if you could also explain how
barxatty [35]
Answer;-1.5238095238
First step; 8/15

8/15 = 0.53 and so on in a repeating form. (0.53333333333)

Divide; 0.53 / -0.35 

= -1.5238095238
