Thread: Finding the equation of a line through a point and parallel vector

The question is: Find the equation of a line in R⁴ through the point (6,2,1,0) and parallel to vector v=<1,2,0,3>.

here's what I have:

(w,x,y,z)=(6,2,1,0)+t<1,2,0,3>
=(6,2,1,0)+<t,2t,0,3t>

are there any further steps to find the equation of the line or is that all I can do?

"are there any further steps to find the equation?"

That is purely a matter of opinion.

okay, I'll make sure to include that part. thank you
