Question 93

MediumOriginal question

How are the lines x1=y2=z3\frac{x}{1} = \frac{y}{2} = \frac{z}{3} and x−12=y4=z6\frac{x - 1}{2} = \frac{y}{4} = \frac{z}{6} placed?

CorrectNot quiteAnswer A

Correct answer: A

Explanation

  1. The direction ratios 2,4,62, 4, 6 are twice 1,2,31, 2, 3, so the lines are parallel.

  2. (1,0,0)(1, 0, 0) is on the second line but not the first (11≠02\frac{1}{1} \ne \frac{0}{2}), so they are distinct.

Worth noting

Skew lines are never parallel; parallel lines always lie in one plane.
