A1. Find the equation of the line in (i) vector form, (ii) parametric form and (iii) symmetric
form for the points (2, −4, 1) and (0, 4, −10).

A2. Find the equation of the line in (i) vector form, (ii) parametric form and (iii) symmetric
form for the line through the point (−7, 2, 4) and parallel to the line given by x =
5 − 8t, y = 6 + t, z = −12t.

A3. Determine whether the given lines intersect. If they do, find their point of intersection:

(a) The line given by x = 8 + t, y = 5 + 6t, z = 4 − 2t and the line given by:

⃗r(t) = (−7 + 12t, 3 − t, 14 + 8t) .

(b) The line passing through the points (1, −2, 13) and (2, 0, −5) and the line given
by:
⃗r(t) = (2 + 4t, −1 − t, 3) .

A4. Does the line given by x = 9 + 21t, y = −7, z = 12 − 11t intersect the xy−plane? If
so, give the point.

A5. Does the line given by x = 9 + 21t, y = −7, z = 12 − 11t intersect the xz−plane? If
so, give the point.

A6. Determine the equation of the plane that contains the points A = (1, −2, 0), B =
(3, 1, 4), and C = (0, −1, 2).

A7. Determine if the plane given by −x+2z = 10 and the line given by ⃗r = (5, 2 − t, 10 + 4t)
are orthogonal, parallel or neither.

A8. Write down the equation of the plane containing the points (4, −3, 1), (−3, −1, 1) and
(4, −2, 8).

A9. Determine if the line given by x = 8 − 15t, y = 9t, z = 5 + 18t and the plane given by
10x − 6y − 12z = 7 are parallel, orthogonal or neither.

A10. Determine where the line intersects the plane or show that it does not intersect the
plane.

(a) The line given by ⃗r(t) = (−2t, 2 + 7t, −1 − 4t) and the plane given by 4x + 9y −
2z = −8.
(b) The line given by ⃗r(t) = (4 + t, −1 + 8t, 3 + 2t) and the plane given by 2x − y +
3z = 15.
