Problems from Vector equation of a straight line in the space

Consider the points $$A = (2, 1,-2)$$ and $$B = (1,-2, 3)$$, and find the vector equation of the straight line that goes through $$A$$ anb $$B$$.

See development and solution

Development:

We will start computing a director vector: $$$\overrightarrow{AB}=B-A=(1,-2,3)-(2,1,-2)=(-1,-3,5)$$$

Therefore the vector equation is: $$$(x,y,z)=A+k\cdot\overrightarrow{AB}=(2,1,-2)+k\cdot(-1,-3,5)$$$

Solution:

$$(x,y,z)=A+k\cdot\overrightarrow{AB}=(2,1,-2)+k\cdot(-1,-3,5)$$
