Answer 1

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Find a set of parametric equations of the line with the given characteristics. (Enter your answer as a comma-separated list of equations in terms of x, y, z, and t.) The line passes through the point (3, 1, 2) and is parallel to the line given by x  = y = z.

Answer:

the set of parametric equations of the line with the given characteristics are; x = t+3, y = t+1, z = t+2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

line x = y = z and point ( 3, 1, 2 )

the given line can be written as;

[x-0 / 1] = [y-0 / 1] = [z-0 / 1]

if two lines are parallel directional ratios are equal.

so DIRECTIONAL RATIOS  of given line is ( 1, 1, 1 )

therefore required line is;

[x-3 / 1] = [y-1 / 1] = [z-2 / 1] = t

⇒ [x-3 / 1] = t

x = t+3

[y-1 / 1] = t

y = t+1

[z-2 / 1] = t

z = t+2

Therefore the set of parametric equations of the line with the given characteristics are; x = t+3, y = t+1, z = t+2
