A right circular cylinder passes through the point (1,−1,4) and has the axis along
the line x−1/2 =
y−3/5 =
z+1/3
. Is this information sufficient to determine the equation of
the cylinder? If it is, determine the equation of the cylinder. Otherwise, state
another condition so that the equation can be determined uniquely, and also find the
equation.

Let P(x1,y1,z1) be any point on the cylinder. Draw PM perpendicular to the axis of the cylinder.
