Parametric equation

Ecuación vectorial
The vector equation:

is the key to finding the parametric equation of a straight line. If we solve this equation for the vector OX:




and write the above vector equation as two separate scalar equations we have:

(parametric equation of a straight line)

Parametric equation of a straight line


Given the vector equation: of a straight line, find the parametric equation:

Firstly,

Then the parametric equation is:


Find the parametric equation of the line that passes through the points
P(1,-1) and Q(0,-3).

The vector PQ is: .
Then:

Find the parametric equation of the line that passes through the points and

x= +

y= +
