Question:medium
The line $\dfrac{x+1}{2} = \dfrac{y-4}{4} = \dfrac{z-2}{5}$ passes through the point
The line $\dfrac{x+1}{2} = \dfrac{y-4}{4} = \dfrac{z-2}{5}$ passes through the point
Show Hint
To check if a point lies on a 3D line in symmetric form, substitute the coordinates and verify all three ratios are equal. Setting each ratio to a parameter $\lambda$ gives the parametric equations of the line.
