Chapter 13 - Vector Geometry - 13.5 Planes in 3-Space - Exercises - Page 685: 52

Answer

$$ x=3+3t, \quad y=-1+5t, \quad 1-7t.$$

Work Step by Step

The normal vector to the plane is $$ n=\langle3,5,-7 \rangle $$ and it is easy to notice that the normal vector to the plane is the dirction vector of the line and hence the equation of the line is $$ r(t)=\langle3,-1,1 \rangle+t\langle3,5,-7 \rangle.$$ Hence the parametric equations of the line are $$ x=3+3t, \quad y=-1+5t, \quad 1-7t.$$
