Vector form of line: r = a + λ b where:
Ab is point
BAlways origin
Ca is point, b is direction (parameter λ)
DRandom
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. a is point, b is direction (parameter λ)
r = a + λ b: a is position vector of point on line, b is direction vector. Parameter λ varies over reals to trace the entire line.
