Answer
Step-by-step solution
2 stepsFind the parametric equation of line $(AB)$.
The coordinates of points and are and .
First, find the direction vector .The parametric equation of a line passing through a point with a direction vector is given by:
Using point and the direction vector , and letting the parameter be :
The student used as the parameter, which is also acceptable.
Find the Cartesian equation of line $(d)$.
The line is given by the parametric equations:
From equation (1), express in terms of :
Substitute this expression for into equation (2):
To write the equation in the standard Cartesian form , move all terms to one side:
The student's work for this part is correct.
