If the line joining the points (k, 2,3) and (1,1,2) is parallel to the line joining the points (5,4,-1) and (3,2,-3) , then the value of k is equal to
Options
- A1
- B2
- C-2
- D3
Correct answer
B. 2
Step-by-step solution
Vector joining the points (k, 2,3) and (1,1,2) is aligned (k-1) i +(2 & -1) j +(3-2) k = & (k-1) i + j + k ...(i) aligned and vector joining the two points (5,4,-1) and (3,2,-3) is 2 i +2 j +2 k ...(ii) Eqs. (i) and (ii) are parallel vector. array lc & k-1 2 = 1 2 k-1=1 & k=2 array
