Which of the following statements are true?

(A) The vector equation of the line through the point (5, 2, -4) and parallel to the vector 3i^+2j^−8k^3\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} - 8\hat{k}3i^+2j^​−8k^ is r⃗=(5i^+2j^−4k^)+λ(3i^+2j^−8k^)\vec{r} = (5\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} - 4\hat{k}) + \lambda(3\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} - 8\hat{k})r=(5i^+2j^​−4k^)+λ(3i^+2j^​−8k^)

(B) Vector form of the equation of line x−53=y+47=z−62\frac{x-5}{3} = \frac{y+4}{7} = \frac{z-6}{2}3x−5​=7y+4​=2z−6​ is r⃗=(5i^−4j^+6k^)+λ(3i^+7j^+2k^)\vec{r} = (5\hat{i} - 4\hat{j} + 6\hat{k}) + \lambda(3\hat{i} + 7\hat{j} + 2\hat{k})r=(5i^−4j^​+6k^)+λ(3i^+7j^​+2k^)

(C) The direction cosines of z-axis are (1, 1,0).

(D) If a line has direction ratios 2, -1, -2, then its direction cosines are -2/3, -1/3, -2/3.
