1. **Problem statement:**
Determine if the point $P(1|3|0)$ lies on the line passing through points $A(3|2|0)$ and $B(-1|4|0)$.
2. **Formula and concept:**
The vector equation of a line through points $A$ and $B$ is given by:
$$\vec{r} = \vec{A} + t(\vec{B} - \vec{A})$$
where $t$ is a scalar parameter.
3. **Calculate the direction vector:**
$$\vec{B} - \vec{A} = (-1 - 3, 4 - 2, 0 - 0) = (-4, 2, 0)$$
4. **Set up the parametric equations:**
$$x = 3 - 4t$$
$$y = 2 + 2t$$
$$z = 0 + 0t = 0$$
5. **Check if point $P(1|3|0)$ satisfies these equations:**
From $x$ coordinate:
$$1 = 3 - 4t \implies 4t = 3 - 1 = 2 \implies t = \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}$$
6. **Check $y$ coordinate with $t=\frac{1}{2}$:**
$$y = 2 + 2 \times \frac{1}{2} = 2 + 1 = 3$$
This matches the $y$ coordinate of $P$.
7. **Check $z$ coordinate:**
$$z = 0$$
Matches the $z$ coordinate of $P$.
8. **Conclusion:**
Since all coordinates match for $t=\frac{1}{2}$, point $P$ lies on the line through $A$ and $B$.
**Final answer:**
$$\boxed{\text{Point } P(1|3|0) \text{ lies on the line through } A \text{ and } B.}$$
