Given are vertex A(7 ,2, 4) and line

x+65=y+103=z+148

 General point on above line B(5λ6,3λ10,8λ14)

 Direction ratios of line AB are <5λ13,3λ12,8λ18>

 Direction ratios of line BC are <5,3,8>

 Since angle between AB and BC is π/4, we have 

cosπ4=(5λ3)5+3(3λ12)+8(8λ18)52+32+82(5λ13)2+(3λ12)2+(8λ18)2

 Squaring and solving, we get λ=3,2

 Hence, equation of lines are x72=y23=z46 and x73=y26=z42
