The direction ratios of a line are proportional to its:

Answer: Direction cosines.

  • A Coordinates only
  • B Intercepts
  • C Slopes
  • D Direction cosines

Correct answer: D. Direction cosines

Explanation: Direction ratios (a, b, c) are any numbers proportional to direction cosines (l, m, n). Ratio a:b:c = l:m:n.

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
