1. Determine the vector equation of the line which is parallel to the vector 2i-10j-8k and which passes through the point (5, -1, 6).
2. vector equation
3. 2i-10j-8k (5, -1, 6)
5i-j+6k+landa(2i-10j-8k)


Is this all I need to do to complete this question, please?

I'm sorry i don't understand what the question is. I have never seen this format for any vector equation

I don't see an equation - an equation always has = in it. Also, this Greek letter - [itex]\lambda[/itex] - is named "lambda."
