A straight line with direction cosines (...

A straight line with direction cosines `(0,1,0)` is (a) parallel to x-axis (b) parallel to yaxis (c) parallel to z-axis (d) equally inclined to all the axes

A

parallel to x-axis

B

parallel to y-axis

C

parallel to z-axis

D

equally inclined to all the axes

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
D.C's (0,1,0)
Since X and Z are zero, the straight line is parallel to y-axis
