find the parametric equation of the line perpendicular to the xoy plan and through (3, 2, -1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there are many ways you can write the line. One particular way is to use the vector <0,0,1> as the direction vector of the line. So r(t) = t<0,0,1> + <3,2-1>

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the will gives x = 3 y = 2 z = t - 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is <0,0,1> perpendicular to the plane?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes the vector <0,0,1> is perpendicular to the plane xy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1395881508026:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would this make sense? <x,y,z> = <3,2,-1> + t<0,0,1>

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes
