Math Problem Statement
Solution
The question is asking to select all the lines that:
- Contain the point .
- Are parallel to the vector .
For parametric equations, a line in 3D can be written in the form: Where is a point on the line and is the direction vector of the line.
Step-by-step check:
- The direction vector of the line must be .
- The point must satisfy the line's equation when .
Now, let's analyze each equation set:
-
:
- Direction vector: , which simplifies to when divided by 2. This line has the correct direction.
- Check if the point lies on the line:
- At : , , . This does not contain the point .
- Not a valid line.
-
:
- Direction vector: . This matches the given direction.
- At : , , , so the point lies on this line.
- Valid line.
-
:
- Direction vector: . This matches the given direction.
- At : , , , so the point lies on this line.
- Valid line.
-
:
- Direction vector: . This matches the given direction.
