CorrectNot quiteAnswer A

Correct answer: A

Explanation

  1. Through A(2,−1,3)A(2, -1, 3), with ratios 2,4,−42, 4, -4 or, halved, 1,2,−21, 2, -2.

  2. x−21=y+12=z−3−2\frac{x - 2}{1} = \frac{y + 1}{2} = \frac{z - 3}{-2}.

Worth noting

Denominators 4,3,−14, 3, -1 use the coordinates of BB as the direction.
