Q. 2 B5.0( 1 Vote )
Reduce the following equations to the normal form and find p and α in each case :
Answer :
Given: 
Explanation:
Dividing both sides by 
Hence, the normal form of the given line, where p = 1, cosα = 
and sin α = 
⇒ α = 225 [ The coefficient of xand y are negative So lies in third quadrant ]
