The correct Answer is:
To determine whether the line joining the points \( A(1, 2, 3) \) and \( B(-1, -2, -3) \) is parallel to the line joining the points \( C(-2, 1, 5) \) and \( D(3, 3, 2) \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Find the direction ratios of line AB The direction ratios of a line joining two points \( (x_1, y_1, z_1) \) and \( (x_2, y_2, z_2) \) can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Direction Ratios} = (x_2 - x_1, y_2 - y_1, z_2 - z_1) \] For points \( A(1, 2, 3) \) and \( B(-1, -2, -3) \): - \( x_2 - x_1 = -1 - 1 = -2 \) - \( y_2 - y_1 = -2 - 2 = -4 \) - \( z_2 - z_1 = -3 - 3 = -6 \) Thus, the direction ratios for line AB are: \[ A_1 = -2, \quad B_1 = -4, \quad C_1 = -6 \] ### Step 2: Find the direction ratios of line CD For points \( C(-2, 1, 5) \) and \( D(3, 3, 2) \): - \( x_2 - x_1 = 3 - (-2) = 5 \) - \( y_2 - y_1 = 3 - 1 = 2 \) - \( z_2 - z_1 = 2 - 5 = -3 \) Thus, the direction ratios for line CD are: \[ A_2 = 5, \quad B_2 = 2, \quad C_2 = -3 \] ### Step 3: Check the condition for parallel lines Two lines are parallel if the ratios of their direction ratios are equal: \[ \frac{A_1}{A_2} = \frac{B_1}{B_2} = \frac{C_1}{C_2} \] Substituting the values we found: \[ \frac{-2}{5}, \quad \frac{-4}{2}, \quad \frac{-6}{-3} \] Calculating these ratios: - \( \frac{-2}{5} \) remains as is. - \( \frac{-4}{2} = -2 \). - \( \frac{-6}{-3} = 2 \). ### Step 4: Compare the ratios Now we compare: \[ \frac{-2}{5} \neq -2 \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{-2}{5} \neq 2 \] Since the ratios are not equal, we conclude that the lines are not parallel. ### Conclusion The line joining the points \( (1, 2, 3) \) and \( (-1, -2, -3) \) is **not parallel** to the line joining the points \( (-2, 1, 5) \) and \( (3, 3, 2) \). ---
