Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
For vector form of a line , the vector gives a point on the line and gives the direction ratios.
For Cartesian form , the direction ratios are .
For (A):
Position vector
The line passes through point
Direction vector
Direction ratios:
(A) matches with (III)
For (B): ,
Rewriting:
Since (constant), the direction ratio for is
Direction ratios:
(B) matches with (IV)
For (C):
Rewriting the z-term:
Direction ratios from the equation:
Multiplying by :
(C) matches with (I)
For (D):
Direction vector of line D
Two vectors are perpendicular if their dot product
Dot product with :
The line is perpendicular to
(D) matches with (II)
(A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (II)
