  1. A \((-1,-1,1)\)
  2. B (1,2,3)
  3. C \((1,3,5)\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \((1,3,5)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the general point on the line be \( Q(t, 2t+1, 3t+2) \). \( \vec{PQ} = \langle t-1, (2t+1)-6, (3t+2)-3 \rangle = \langle t-1, 2t-5, 3t-1 \rangle \). Direction vector of line \( \vec{d} = \langle 1, 2, 3 \rangle \).…
