Question:medium

If the direction cosines of two lines satisfy the relations \[ l+m-n=0, \] \[ 3l^2+m^2+6nl=0, \] then those lines are

Show Hint

If two lines have proportional direction ratios (or direction cosines differing only by sign), then they are \[ \boxed{\text{parallel}.} \] Always reduce the given relations to obtain the ratio of the direction cosines.
