Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \((0,-4,4)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Equation of required lines is
\(\frac{\mathrm{x}+2}{-2}=\frac{\mathrm{y}+2}{2}=\frac{\mathrm{z}-3}{-1}\) and this line meets \(\mathrm{YZ}\) plane in \(\mathrm{P}\).
Coordinates of any point on this line are \((-2 \lambda-21,2 \lambda-2,-\lambda+3)\), where \(\lambda\) is a scalar.
Since \(\mathrm{P}\) is on \(\mathrm{YZ}\) plane, we write
\(
\begin{aligned}
& -2 \lambda-2=0 \Rightarrow \lambda=-1 \\
& \therefore \mathrm{P} \equiv(0,-4,4)
\end{aligned}
