1)Write a vector equation of a line passing through P1 (1,4) and parallel to 2)Write a vector equation of a line passing through P1(3,-9) and parallel to
You can write vector equations by separating the horizontal and vertical components. This is a called a parametric equation. Parametric Equation: x=x1 +ta1 y = y1 + ta2
5) Write a parametric equation of y = ½x + 7 4) Write a parametric equation of y = -4x + 7
How long is it until the second plane overtakes the first? How far have both planes traveled when the second plane overtakes the first?
