Parellel Lines in 3D:
L1: x = 3 - 2t, y = 5 + t, z = -4 + 3t and
L2: ![]()
are parallel.
If the lines are parallel, their vectors must be proportional, so get the vectors for each line.
For L1, the components of the vector are the coefficients of t in the parametric equations:
n1 = -2i + j + 3k
For L2, the components of the vector are the respective denominators:
n2 = 4i - 2j - 6k.
We see that n2 = -2*n1. Hence the lines are parallel.
