Engineering Path integrals in scalar fields when the path is not provided

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the challenge of solving a problem involving path integrals in scalar fields without an explicitly provided parametrized path. Initially, the poster expresses difficulty in starting the solution due to this lack of information. Other participants clarify that the path can be inferred as the line segment between the two points mentioned. Ultimately, the original poster resolves the issue independently and retracts their request for assistance. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding implicit paths in path integral problems.

Homework Statement
Evaluate the integral of the curve x^2-y^2+3z wrt ds where the line segment C runs from (0,0,0) to (1,-2,1)
Relevant Equations
∫c Φds
I cannot seem to start answering the question as a result of the path not being provided. How do I solve this when the path is not provided? See picture below

What do you mean the path is not provided? The path is the line segment from both points presented :/

I meant to say that the path is not given explicitly as a parametrized form.
 
Disregard my request for assistance. I have solved the problem.
