  • `(2x)/sqrt(3) = (2y)/1 = z/0`

  • 2x = `(2y)/sqrt(3) = z/1`

  • `(2x)/sqrt(3) = (2y)/1 = z/1`

Solution

Equation of line passing through origin and making 30°, 60° and 90° with x, y, z axes respectively, is `underlinebb((2x)/sqrt(3) = (2y)/1 = z/0)`.

Explanation:

Here, direction cosines of the line are

l = cos 30°, m = cos 60°, n = cos 90°

l = `sqrt(3)/2`, m = `1/2`, n = 0

Here, line passes through the point (0, 0, 0).

So, the required equation of line is

`(x - 0)/(sqrt(3)/2) = (y - 0)/(1/2) = (z - 0)/0`

`\implies (2x)/sqrt(3) = (2y)/1 = z/0`
