The cartesian equation of a line is x=ay+bx = ay+b, z=cy+dz = cy+d. It's direction ratios are

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Write both equations in terms of yy: x−ba=y=z−dc\frac{x-b}{a} = y = \frac{z-d}{c}.

In symmetric form x−ba=y−01=z−dc\frac{x-b}{a} = \frac{y-0}{1} = \frac{z-d}{c}, so the direction ratios are a,1,ca, 1, c.
