I think you're on the right track with your parametric equation.

What you have there is the vector form of the line equation.

L = R + tV

Where R is [x0, y0, z0] and V is [a, b, c].

You just need to normalize your equations. You would do that by finding the value of R such that |R| is at a minimum, which occurs when R is perpendicular to LV, or R.LV = 0.

Also, since t can be scaled by any value, without changing the line, you should normalize V by dividing every coefficient by |V|

Where RR is x0[x0, y0, z0z0] and VV is a[a, b, cc].

You just need to normalize your equations. You would do that by finding the value of RR such that |R||R| is at a minimum, which occurs when RR is perpendicular to LL, or R.LR.L = 0.

Also, since t can be scaled by any value, without changing the line, you should normalize VV by dividing every coefficient by |V||V|
