300
Does the equation r=(-1,0,-1)+s(2,3,-4)+t(4,6,-8) represent the equation of a plane? Explain.
No, it does not represent the equation of a plane because the direction vectors are scalar multiples of each other.
300
Why can't a symmetric equation exist for a plane?
There are two parameters.

The parametric equations of a line are given as x=-14-2s, y=8+s, sER. This line crosses the x-axis at the point with the coordinates A(d,0) and crosses the y-axis at the point with coordinates B(0,e). If O represents the origin, what is the area of the triangle ABO?
Area (AOB)= 1 unit squared

4x-y-14=0
400
What are the symmetric equations for the line passing through the points D (-1,0,0) and E (-1,1,0)
Not possible since 2 coordinates of the direction vector are zero.
