  1. Chapter 12 – Vectors and the Geometry of Space 12.5 Equations of Lines and Planes • Objectives: • Find vector, parametric, and general forms of equations of lines and planes. • Find distances and angles between lines and planes 12.5 Equations of Lines and Planes

  2. Lines in 2D • A line in the xy-plane is determined when a point on the line and the direction of the line (its slope or angle of inclination) are given. 12.5 Equations of Lines and Planes

  3. Lines in 3D • A line L in 3D space is determined when we know: • A point P0(x0, y0, z0) on L • The direction of L, given by a vector 12.5 Equations of Lines and Planes

  4. Definition – Vector Equation So, we let v be a vector parallel to L. • Let P(x, y, z) be an arbitrary point on L. • Letr0 and r be the position vectors of P0 and P. • If a is the vector with representation from P to Po. Then the Triangle Law for vector addition gives r = r0 + a. However, since a and v are parallel vectors, there is a scalar t such that a = tv. So we have This is a vector equation of L. r = r0 + tv 1 12.5 Equations of Lines and Planes

  5. Definition continued We can also write this definition in component form: r = <x, y, z> and r0 = <x0, y0, z0> • So, vector Equation 1 becomes: <x, y, z> = <x0 + ta, y0 + tb, z0 + tc> 2 Positive values of t correspond to points on L that lie on one side of P0. Negative values correspond to points that lie on the other side. 12.5 Equations of Lines and Planes

  6. Definition continued • Two vectors are equal if and only if corresponding components are equal. • Hence, we have the following three scalar equations. x = x0 + at y = y0 + bt z = z0 + ct, where tℝ • These equations are called parametric equations of the line L through the point P0(x0, y0, z0) and parallel to the vector v = <a, b, c>. • Each value of the parameter t gives a point (x, y, z) on L. 12.5 Equations of Lines and Planes

  7. Example 1 – pg 824 #2 • Find a vector equation and parametric equations for the line. The line through the point (6,-5,2) and parallel to the vector <1,3,-2/3>. 12.5 Equations of Lines and Planes

  8. Definition - Symmetric Equations • If we solve the equations for t x = x0 + at, y = y0 + bt, z = z0 + ct, we get the following symmetric equations. 3 12.5 Equations of Lines and Planes

  9. Example 2 • Find parametric equations and symmetric equations for the line. The line through the points (6,1,-3) and (2,4,5). 12.5 Equations of Lines and Planes

  10. Equations of Line Segments • The line segment from r0 to r1 is given by the vector equation where 0 ≤ t ≤ 1 r(t) = (1 – t)r0 + tr1 4 12.5 Equations of Lines and Planes

  11. Definition – Skew Lines • Lines that are skew are not parallel and do NOT intersect. They do NOT lie in the same plane. 12.5 Equations of Lines and Planes

  12. Example 3 • Determine whether the lines L1 and L2 are parallel, skew, or intersecting. If they intersect, find the point of intersection. 12.5 Equations of Lines and Planes

  13. Planes • A plane in space is determined by: • A point P0(x0, y0, z0) in the plane • A vector n that is orthogonal to the plane 12.5 Equations of Lines and Planes

  14. Definition – Normal Vector • This orthogonal vector n is called a normal vector. • The normal vector n is orthogonal to every vector in the given plane. • In particular, n is orthogonal to r – r0. 12.5 Equations of Lines and Planes

  15. Equation of Planes • If n is orthogonal to r – r0 we have the following equations: • Either Equation 5 or Equation 6 is called a vector equation of the plane. 12.5 Equations of Lines and Planes

  16. Equations of Planes • This equation is the scalar equation of the plane through P0(x0, y0, z0) with normal vector n = <a, b, c>. 12.5 Equations of Lines and Planes

  17. Linear Equation where d = –(ax0 + by0 + cz0) • This is called a linear equation in x, y, and z. 12.5 Equations of Lines and Planes

  18. Example 4 – pg. 825 # 34 • Find an equation of the plane. The plane that passes through the point (1,2,3) and contains the line x = 3t, y = 1 + t, z = 2 – t. 12.5 Equations of Lines and Planes

  19. Example 5 – pg. 825 # 45 • Find the point at which the line intersects the given plane. x = 3 – t y = 2 + t z = 5t x – y + 2z = 9 12.5 Equations of Lines and Planes

  20. Example 6 – pg. 825 #48 • Where does the line through (1,0,1) and (4, -2, 2) intersect the plane x + y + z = 6? 12.5 Equations of Lines and Planes
