Find a set of parametric equations of the line with the given characteristics. The line passes through the point (−4, 5, 2) and is parallel to the xy-plane and the yz-plane

Expert Solution
Given,

The line passes through the point (−4, 5, 2) and is parallel to the xy-plane and the yz-plane.

Since the line is parallel to xy-plane and yz-plane, therefore it must be parallel to y-axis (Intersection of xy-plane and yz-plane).

Now to find a set of parametric equations of the line, take any point on the y-axis.

Let us take,
