Question

Find the equation of a line parallel to x-axis and passing through the origin.

Advertisements

Solution

The direction ratios of the line parallel to x-axis are proportional to 1, 0, 0.

Equation of the line passing through the origin and parallel to x-axis is 

\[\frac{x - 0}{1} = \frac{y - 0}{0} = \frac{z - 0}{0}\]

\[ = \frac{x}{1} = \frac{y}{0} = \frac{z}{0}\]
