How do I find the equation of a line joining two points A=(1,2,3) B=(-1,2,5) :
a) In vector form
b) in symmetric scalar form
c) in parametric form
I think the text book I am using has different terminologies than my assignment and therefore has me confused. Thank you.

let's find the vector as
< -1 - 1 , 2 - 2 , 5 - 3 > ====> < -2 , 0 , 2 >
to find the line as having any of the two points:
<1 , 2 , 3 > + t <-2 , 0 , 2 > <======a
( x - 1 )/ -2 = (z - 3)/ 2 <===== b)
parametric form
x = 1 + -2t
y = 2
z = 3 + 2t
< -1 - 1 , 2 - 2 , 5 - 3 > ====> < -2 , 0 , 2 >
to find the line as having any of the two points:
<1 , 2 , 3 > + t <-2 , 0 , 2 > <======a
( x - 1 )/ -2 = (z - 3)/ 2 <===== b)
parametric form
x = 1 + -2t
y = 2
z = 3 + 2t
