The straight line `(x-3)/3=(y-2)/1=(z-1)/0` is Parallel to x-axis Parallel to the y-axis Parallel to the z-axis Perpendicular to the z-axis

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We have given straight line `(x-3)/3=(y-2)/1=(z-1)/0`
Then direction cosine's of above line are
`a_1=(3,1,0)`
And direction cosine's of z-axis are
`a_2=(0,0,1)`
Then `a_1.a_2=(3,1,0).(0,0,1)`
`a_1.a_2=3 xx 0+1xx0+0xx1`
`a_1.a_2=0`
