A line in space is uniquely determined if

(A) It passes through a given point and has a given direction.

(B) It passes through two given points.

(C) It passes through a given point.

(D) It has a given direction.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

A line is fixed once both a position and a direction are known, so (A) determines it uniquely.

Two distinct points also fix a position and a direction, so (B) works.

A single point allows infinitely many directions and a direction alone allows infinitely many parallel lines, so (C) and (D) fail.
