(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
(ii) Direction ratios of the line passing through the points A and B are
(a) -2, -3, 5 (b) 2, 3, 5
(c) 2, -3, 5 (d) -2, -3, -5
(iii) Equation of the line passing through the points A and B in certain form is
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
(iv) The coordinates of the point where the line through the points A and B crosses the XY-plane is
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
(v) The coordinates of the point where the line through the points A and B crosses the XZ-plane is
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
Solution:(i)Answer (b)
Given points are A(3, 4, 1) and B(5, 1, 6)
∴ we have AB =
∴ Its direction ratio are =
= 2 , -3, 5
Direction cosine are =
(ii) Answer (c)
Given points are A(3, 4, 1) and B(5, 1, 6)
∴ Direction given by =
(iii) Answer (a)
Equation of the line passing through the points are A(3, 4, 1) and B(5, 1, 6) in cartesian form is given by
i.e.
(iv) Answer (b)
Equation of the line passing through the points are A(3, 4, 1) and B(5, 1, 6) is
Since the line (i) croses the XY- plane
∴ The z co-ordinate of the point on the line (i) will be zero.
Putting z = 0 in (i), we get
⇒
⇒
⇒
∴ Co-ordinates of the points is
(v) Answer (c)
Equation of the line passing through the points are A(3, 4, 1) and B(5, 1, 6) is
Since the line (i) croses the XY- plane
∴ The y co-ordinate of the point on the line (i) will be zero.
Now, Putting z = 0 in (i), we get
⇒
⇒
⇒
∴ Co-ordinates of the points is
