Question

Length of Perpendicular (p) = 5
X-axis (a) = 45°
Find the equation of straight line
Write in Steps

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that, If p is the length of the normal from origin to a line and w is the angle made by the normal with the positive direction of x-axis then the equation of the line is given by xcosw+ysinw=p.

Here, p=5 units and w=30

∘

Thus, the required equation of the given line is

xcos30
