Vectors and the Equation of a Line


Description

The lesson starts by reconsidering how to describe a line in the plane using vectors and parameters and then applies this description to lines in ℝ 3 . The shift to describing a line using vectors to indicate its direction requires that students think geometrically about lines in the plane instead of algebraically.

Lessons 21 and 22 are important because they set the mathematical foundation for students to understand the definition of vectors.
