Q9 of 169 Page 667

Find the equation of a line whose inclination with the x - axis is 300 and which passes through the point (0, 5).

As angle is given so we have to find slope first given by m = tanθ

m = tan30°



Now the line is passing through the point (0, 5).using slope - intercept form of the equation of the line, we will find the intercept


y = mx + c ……………….(1)



Putting the value of c in equation (1),we have
