The correct Answer is:
To determine if the lines given by the equations \((x-1)/1=(y-2)/2=(z-3)/3\) and \(x/2=(y+2)/2=(z-3)/-2\) are parallel, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Direction Ratios of Each Line The first line can be expressed in the symmetric form: \[ \frac{x-1}{1} = \frac{y-2}{2} = \frac{z-3}{3} \] From this, we can extract the direction ratios of the first line (let's call it Line 1): - Direction ratios of Line 1: \( (1, 2, 3) \) The second line can be expressed as: \[ \frac{x}{2} = \frac{y+2}{2} = \frac{z-3}{-2} \] From this, we can extract the direction ratios of the second line (let's call it Line 2): - Direction ratios of Line 2: \( (2, 2, -2) \) ### Step 2: Check the Condition for Parallel Lines For two lines to be parallel, their direction ratios must be proportional. This means we need to check if: \[ \frac{a_1}{a_2} = \frac{b_1}{b_2} = \frac{c_1}{c_2} \] where \( (a_1, b_1, c_1) \) are the direction ratios of Line 1 and \( (a_2, b_2, c_2) \) are the direction ratios of Line 2. Substituting the values we found: - \( a_1 = 1, b_1 = 2, c_1 = 3 \) - \( a_2 = 2, b_2 = 2, c_2 = -2 \) Now we calculate: \[ \frac{1}{2}, \quad \frac{2}{2}, \quad \frac{3}{-2} \] ### Step 3: Evaluate the Ratios Calculating the ratios gives us: - \( \frac{1}{2} = 0.5 \) - \( \frac{2}{2} = 1 \) - \( \frac{3}{-2} = -1.5 \) ### Step 4: Compare the Ratios Now we compare the calculated ratios: \[ \frac{1}{2} \neq \frac{2}{2} \neq \frac{3}{-2} \] Since these ratios are not equal, we conclude that the lines are not parallel. ### Final Conclusion The lines given by the equations \((x-1)/1=(y-2)/2=(z-3)/3\) and \(x/2=(y+2)/2=(z-3)/-2\) are **not parallel**. ---
