  1. A \((3,-4,1)\)
  2. B \((-3,4,0)\)
  3. C \((4,1,0)\)

Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \((-3,4,0)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \frac{x' - (-1)}{1} = \frac{y' - 2}{-1} = \frac{z' - (-4)}{-2} = -2 \frac{(1)(-1) + (-1)(2) + (-2)(-4) + 1}{1^2 + (-1)^2 + (-2)^2} \) \( \frac{x' + 1}{1} = \frac{y' - 2}{-1} = \frac{z' + 4}{-2} = -2 \frac{6}{6} = -2 \)
