Find the equation of a line parallel to...

Find the equation of a line parallel to x-axis and passing through the origin.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

As we know that the line parallel to x-axis and passing through the origin is x-axis itself.
Let us consider that A be a point on x-axis.
Therefore, the coordinates of A are given by (a,0,0),
Direction ratios of OA are a,0,0.
