Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{x+3}{1}=\frac{y}{3}=\frac{z-1}{5}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{\mathrm{x}+3}{(-2) \times(-1)-1 \times 1}=\frac{\mathrm{y}-0}{2 \times 1-1 \times(-1)}=\) \(\frac{\mathrm{z}-1}{1 \times 1-2 \times(-2)}\)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{x}+3}{1}=\frac{\mathrm{y}}{3}=\frac{\mathrm{z}-1}{5}\)
