Question:
Consider the line with these parametric equations:
$$x = -9t + 3 $$
$$y = 6t - 8 $$
$$z = -5t + 4 $$
a) One set of symmetric equations for this line is
$$\frac{x - 3}{-9} = \frac{y - y_{0}}{b} = \frac{z - z_{0}}{c}, $$
find {eq}y_{0}, \, z_{0}, \, b, {/eq} and {eq}c {/eq}.
b) Another set of symmetric equations for this line is
$$\frac{x}{9} = \frac{y - y_{1}}{b} = \frac{z - z_{1}}{c}, $$
find {eq}y_{1}, \, z_{1}, \, b, {/eq} and {eq}c {/eq}.

Chapter 24 / Lesson 6Parametric equations are those that involve two or more variables, and are expressed by defining each variable in terms of only one other variable, called the parameter. See how these are found and used by solving several examples of parametric equations applied to real-life contexts.
