Question

The diagram shows rectangular box ABCDEFGH, with A = (2, 3, 1), G = (10, 7, 5), and edges parallel to the coordinate axes.

(a) Write parametric equations for line FD.

(b) Let M be the midpoint of segment CD and draw segment EM. Find coordinates for the point P that is two thirds of the way from E to M.

(c) Show that P is also on segment FD. Why was it predictable that segments FD and EM would intersect?
