Step-by-step solution

2 steps
  1. Give a parametric representation of the line $(D)$.

    The line (D)(D) passes through point A(1,2,3)A(1,2,3) and is directed by the vector u⃗(2,−2,−1)\vec{u}(2, -2, -1).
    The parametric equations of a line passing through (x0,y0,z0)(x_0, y_0, z_0) with direction vector (a,b,c)(a, b, c) are:

    {x=x0+aty=y0+btz=z0+ct\begin{cases} x = x_0 + at \\ y = y_0 + bt \\ z = z_0 + ct \end{cases}

    Substituting the given values A(1,2,3)A(1,2,3) and u⃗(2,−2,−1)\vec{u}(2, -2, -1):

    {x=1+2ty=2−2tz=3−t\boxed{\begin{cases} x = 1 + 2t \\ y = 2 - 2t \\ z = 3 - t \end{cases}}

    where t∈Rt \in \mathbb{R}.

  2. Find the relative position of the line $(D)$ with respect to the planes $(P)$, $(Q)$, and $(R)$.

    The direction vector of line (D)(D) is u⃗(2,−2,−1)\vec{u}(2, -2, -1).
