Question

Let p_(0)= (4,4) lie on a straight line parallel with the vector v=(2,1). Show that the position vector OP = OP_(0) + tv generates points for this line for different values on t. What is the lines equation on the form y=kx + m

phi · Answer

The idea is you start at p0 = (4,4)  and then move in the direction (2,1) (either direction) by multiplying v by a scalar t.
