Direction ratios of the line joining A(1,2,3) and B(4,6,3) are:

Answer: (3,4,0).

  • A (1,2,3)
  • B (3,4,0)
  • C (4,6,3)
  • D (5,8,6)

Correct answer: B. (3,4,0)

Explanation: Direction ratios = (x<sub>2</sub>-x<sub>1</sub>, y<sub>2</sub>-y<sub>1</sub>, z<sub>2</sub>-z<sub>1</sub>) = (4-1, 6-2, 3-3) = (3, 4, 0).

zxyOP (x, y, z)

Three mutually perpendicular axes x, y, z meeting at the origin O, with a point P located by its (x, y, z) coordinates.

Concept context

Lines and planes in 3D space, direction cosines, distances, and angles
