What to Focus On

  • Direction cosines are the cosines of the angles made by a directed line with the coordinate axes.
  • l^2 + m^2 + n^2 = 1 for every directed line.
  • Reversing a line reverses the signs of all three direction cosines.

  • A line passing through two given points is uniquely determined.
  • Direction cosines of a line through two points come from the coordinate differences divided by the distance PQ.
  • Direction ratios may be taken in either forward or reversed order.

  • A line needs either a point and a direction or two points to be uniquely fixed.
  • Vector form: r = a + lambda b.
  • Cartesian form: (x-x1)/a = (y-y1)/b = (z-z1)/c.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Direction cosines and direction ratios are the same thing.

Direction ratios are unique for a line.

Reversing the direction of a line does not change its direction cosines.

Memory Tips

Direction cosines are unique for a directed line

Direction ratios are not unique

Relation between direction cosines and direction ratios

l^2 + m^2 + n^2 = 1
