1. Direction Cosines of a Line (DC’s)
3D - Geometry
The direction cosines are generally denoted by l, m, n.

Hence, l = cos ⍺, m = cos β,


n = cos γ
Note that l2 + m2 + n2 = 1

3. Equation of a Line
2. Direction Ratios of a Line (DR’s)
1. Equation of a line through a given point with
Any three numbers a, b and c proportional to the position vector and parallel to a given vector :
direction cosines l, m and n, respectively are called In vector form,
direction ratios of the line. In cartesian form,
● The direction ratios of a line passing through
two points P(x1, y1, z1) and Q(x2, y2, z2) are
(x2 - x1), (y2 - y1), (z2 - z1) where,
Here, a, b, c are also the direction ratios of the line
● 2. Equation of a line passing through two given
points with position vectors
● In vector form,
In cartesian form,
4. Angle between Two Lines 3D - Geometry 5. Shortest Distance between Two Lines
