Practicing Success
The directions of the line segment joining the points A(-1, 0, 3) and B(2, 5,1) on the line whose direction ratios are proportional to 6, 2, 3, is |
$\frac{10}{7}$ $\frac{22}{7}$ $\frac{18}{7}$ none of these |
$\frac{22}{7}$ |
The direction cosines of the line whose direction ratios are proportional to 6, 2, 3 are $\frac{6}{7}, \frac{2}{7}, \frac{3}{7}$. ∴ Projection of AB on the givenn line $ = (2 + 1) × \frac{6}{7} + (5-0)×\frac{2}{7} + ( 1- 3) × \frac{3}{7}=\frac{22}{7}$ |
