The equation of the line passing through the points ( 3, 2, 4) and (4, 5, 2) is

A

x+31=y+23=z+42\frac { x + 3 } { 1 } = \frac { y + 2 } { 3 } = \frac { z + 4 } { - 2 }

B

x31=y23=z42\frac { x - 3 } { 1 } = \frac { y - 2 } { 3 } = \frac { z - 4 } { - 2 }

C

x+37=y+27=z+46\frac { x + 3 } { 7 } = \frac { y + 2 } { 7 } = \frac { z + 4 } { 6 }

D

x37=y27=z46\frac { x - 3 } { 7 } = \frac { y - 2 } { 7 } = \frac { z - 4 } { 6 }

Answer

x31=y23=z42\frac { x - 3 } { 1 } = \frac { y - 2 } { 3 } = \frac { z - 4 } { - 2 }

Explanation

Solution

Required line is x343=y252=z424\frac { x - 3 } { 4 - 3 } = \frac { y - 2 } { 5 - 2 } = \frac { z - 4 } { 2 - 4 }

i.e., x31=y23=z42\frac { x - 3 } { 1 } = \frac { y - 2 } { 3 } = \frac { z - 4 } { - 2 }.
