Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(-\frac{1}{7}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Line direction vector: \( \vec{d} = (1-2, 1-(-1), -2-1) = (-1, 2, -3) \) Foot of perpendicular \( (\alpha, \beta, \gamma) = (2-t, -1+2t, 1-3t) \) Vector from point \( (-1,2,-1) \) to foot: \( \vec{P_0F} = (2-t - (-1), -1+2t - 2, 1-3t - (-1)) = (3-t, -3+2t, 2-3t) \) For…
