The direction cosines of the line joining the points ( - 2 , 4 , - 5 ) and ( 1 , 2 , 3 ) are

The direction cosines of the line joining the points (-2,4,-5) and (1,2,3) are
  1. 377,-277,877
  2. 377,277,877
  3. 1,0,0
  4. -377,-277,877

Solution

Let P=-2,4,-5 and Q=1,2,3

Direction ratio of PQ=3,-2,8

Direction Cosine=PQPQ=l,m,n

l=332+-22+82=377

similarly m=-277,n=877

l,m,n=377,-277,877
