Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the points be \(A(3, 2, -1)\) and \(B(6, 2, -2)\). The line segment joining \(A\) and \(B\) can be represented by the parametric equations \(x = 3 + (6-3)t = 3 + 3t\), \(y = 2 + (2-2)t = 2\), and \(z = -1 + (-2 - (-1))t = -1 - t\), where \(0 \le t \le 1\). Given that the…
