Question
In Exercises 69-72, determine which of the vectors is (are) parallel to z. Use a graphing utility to confirm your results.
\(\mathbf{z}=\frac{1}{2} \mathbf{i}-\frac{2}{3} \mathbf{j}+\frac{3}{4} \mathbf{k}\)
(a) \(6 \mathbf{i}-4 \mathbf{j}+9 \mathbf{k}\)
(b) \(-\mathbf{i}+\frac{4}{3} \mathbf{j}-\frac{3}{2} \mathbf{k}\)
(c) \(12 \mathbf{i}+9 \mathbf{k}\)
(d) \(\frac{3}{4} \mathbf{i}-\mathbf{j}+\frac{9}{8} \mathbf{k}\)
