Find the equation of the line for which
p = 3 and ∝ = 2250
Given: p = 3 and ∝ = 2250
Here p is the perpendicular that makes an angle ∝ with positive direction of x-axis , hence the equation of the straight line is given by:
Formula used:
x cos ∝ + y sin ∝ =p
x cos 2250 + y sin 2250 =3
i.e; cos 2250 = cos ((6360) +90) = cos((6
2
)+ 90)= cos 90
similarly, sin 2250 = sin ((660) + 90) = sin((6
2
) +90)= sin 90
hence, x cos 90 + y sin 90 =3
x (0)+y
1=3
Hence The required equation of the line is y=3.
