If \(z\)-coordinate of a point P on the line joining the points A (2, 2, 1) and B (5, 1, -2) is -1, than \(x\)-coordinate of point P is

  1. A 2
  2. B 4
  3. C \(\frac{4}{3}\)
  4. D -1
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 4

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(P = \left( \frac{\lambda x_2 + x_1}{\lambda + 1}, \frac{\lambda y_2 + y_1}{\lambda + 1}, \frac{\lambda z_2 + z_1}{\lambda + 1} \right)\) \(-1 = \frac{\lambda (-2) + 1}{\lambda + 1}\) \(-2\lambda + 1 = -\lambda - 1 \implies \lambda = 2\) \(x = \frac{2(5) + 2}{2 + 1}\)…
