  1. Ask your question and show the work you've done so far. If you've posted a screenshot of a question, specify which part you need help with.
  2. Wait patiently for a helper to come along.
  3. Once someone helps you, say thank you and close the thread with:
    +close
    
  4. Feel free to nominate the person for helper of the week in #helper-nominations
  5. Do not ping the mods, unless someone is breaking the rules.
  6. If you're happy with the help you got here, and the server overall, you can contribute financially as well:

The vector equation of a line passing through points r = r1 and r = r2 is:
r = r1 + (r2 - r1)t
The parametric equation is just the vector equation written for each coordinate separately as a system.

For slope we can use the formula directly

True, but it's also good to be able to extract it from the parametric equation.
