If the equations of a line are find the direction cosines of a line parallel to the given line.
Given : A line
To find : Direction cosines of the line parallel to
Formula used : If a line is given by =
=
then direction cosines are given by
,
,
The line is =
=
Parallel lines have same direction ratios and direction cosines
Here l = 3 , m = -2 , n = 6
Direction cosines of the line =
=
is
,
,
= ,
,
=
