Answers (1)

Answer:

Required answer is  \frac{3}{7}, \frac{2}{7}, \frac{-6}{7}

Hint:

Use equation of a line in space.

Given:

Cartesian equations are  2 x=3 y=-z

Solution:

We have,

2 x=3 y=-z

The equation of the given line can be rewritten as,

\begin{aligned} &\frac{x}{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{y}{\frac{1}{3}}=\frac{z}{-1} \\ & \end{aligned}

\frac{x}{3}=\frac{y}{2}=\frac{z}{-6}

The direction ratios of the line parallel to AB are proportional to  3,2,-6

The direction cosines of the line parallel to AB are proportional to

\begin{aligned} &\frac{3}{\sqrt{3^{2}+2^{2}+(-6)^{2}}}, \frac{2}{\sqrt{3^{2}+2^{2}+(-6)^{2}}}, \frac{-6}{\sqrt{3^{2}+2^{2}+(-6)^{2}}} \\ & \end{aligned}

=\frac{3}{7}, \frac{2}{7}, \frac{-6}{7}
