Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{x-3}{-4}=\frac{y-1}{1}=\frac{z-2}{-1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The required equation of the line is
\(\begin{aligned} & \frac{x-3}{-1-3}=\frac{y-1}{2-1}=\frac{z-2}{1-2} \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{x-3}{-4}=\frac{y-1}{1}=\frac{z-2}{-1}\end{aligned}\)
