To determine which of the given options represents the direction cosines of a line, we need to check if the sum of the squares of the proposed direction cosines equals 1. The direction cosines of a line are typically denoted as \( l, m, n \) and they must satisfy the equation: \[ l^2 + m^2 + n^2 = 1 \] Let's analyze each option step by step. ...
