Find the equation of the straight line at a distance of 3 units from the origin such that the perpendicular from the origin to the line makes an angle α given by
with the positive direction of x–axis.
Answer :
Given: p = 3,
⇒ and
Concept Used:
The equation of a line in normal form.
Explanation:
So, the equation of the line in normal form is
Formula Used: x cos α + y sin α = p
⇒
⇒ 12x + 5y = 39
Hence, the equation of line in normal form is 12x + 5y = 39
