The correct Answer is:
To find the direction ratios of the line given by the equation \[ \frac{x - 1}{3} = \frac{2y + 6}{10} = \frac{1 - z}{-7} \] we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the equation The given equation can be rewritten in a more standard form. We will express each part of the equation separately: \[ \frac{x - 1}{3} = \frac{2y + 6}{10} = \frac{1 - z}{-7} \] ### Step 2: Simplify the second term To simplify the second term, we can factor out the common factor from the numerator: \[ \frac{2y + 6}{10} = \frac{2(y + 3)}{10} = \frac{y + 3}{5} \] ### Step 3: Rewrite the third term For the third term, we can change the sign of the denominator: \[ \frac{1 - z}{-7} = -\frac{1 - z}{7} = \frac{z - 1}{7} \] ### Step 4: Combine the terms Now we can rewrite the entire equation as: \[ \frac{x - 1}{3} = \frac{y + 3}{5} = \frac{z - 1}{7} \] ### Step 5: Identify the direction ratios From the rewritten equation, we can identify the direction ratios directly from the denominators: - The direction ratio corresponding to \(x\) is \(3\), - The direction ratio corresponding to \(y\) is \(5\), - The direction ratio corresponding to \(z\) is \(7\). ### Final Answer Thus, the direction ratios of the line are: \[ \text{Direction Ratios} = (3, 5, 7) \] ---
