- The equation of a line in two dimensions is ax + by = c a x + b y = c; it is reasonable to expect that a line in three dimensions is given by ax + by + cz = d a x + b y + c z = d; reasonable, but wrong—it turns out that this is the equation of a plane. A plane does not have an obvious "direction'' as does a line.

May 28, 2013 · Here are three ways to describe the formula of a line in $3$ dimensions. Let's assume the line $L$ passes through the point $(x_0,y_0,z_0)$ and is traveling in the direction $(a,b,c)$. Vector Form $$(x,y,z)=(x_0,y_0,z_0)+t(a,b,c)$$ Here $t$ is a parameter describing a particular point on the line $L$. Parametric Form $$x=x_0+ta\\y=y_0+tb\\z=z_0 ...

Unlike a plane, a line in three dimensions does have an obvious direction, namely, the direction of any vector parallel to it. In fact a line can be defined and uniquely identified by providing one point on the line and a vector parallel to the line (in one of two possible directions).

Equation Of A Line In Three Dimensions. Equation of a line is defined as y= mx+c, where c is the y-intercept and m is the slope. Vectors can be defined as a quantity possessing both direction and magnitude. Position vectors simply denote the position or location of a point in the three-dimensional Cartesian system with respect to a reference ...

A plane in R 3 \mathbb{R}^3 R 3 is a natural extension of a line in R 2 \mathbb{R}^2 R 2. For example, consider the line 2 x + 3 y = 6 2x+3y=6 2 x + 3 y = 6, which can be rewritten y = − 2 3 x + 2 y=−\dfrac{2}{3}x+2 y = − 3 2 x + 2. The "direction" of this line is the vector 2, 3 2,3 2, 3 , the coefficients of x x x and y y y in the equation.

Similarly, in three-dimensional space, we can obtain the equation of a line if we know a point that the line passes through as well as the direction vector, which designates the direction of the line. The formula is as follows: The proof is very similar to the ….
