Find a set of symmetric equations of the line through the points $( 8,6,3 ) \text { and }$ $( 0 , - 1 , - 1 )$
A) $\frac { x - 8 } { 8 } = \frac { y - 6 } { 7 } = \frac { z - 3 } { 4 }$
B) $\frac { x - 8 } { 3 } = \frac { y - 6 } { 9 } = \frac { z - 3 } { - 5 }$
C) $\frac { x - 8 } { 8 } = \frac { y + 6 } { 7 } = \frac { z - 3 } { 4 }$
D) $\frac { x + 8 } { 8 } = \frac { y + 6 } { 7 } = \frac { z - 3 } { 4 }$
E) $\frac { x - 8 } { 3 } = \frac { z - 6 } { 9 } = \frac { y - 3 } { - 5 }$
