Find the values of q and p, if the equation x is the normal form of the line .
The equation of the given line is
This equation can be reduced as
⇒
On dividing both sides , we obtain,
…………….(1)
On comparing equation (1) with xcosƟ + ysinƟ = p, we get,
cosƟ = and sinƟ = and p = 1
Since, the value of sinƟ and cosƟ are negative,
Therefore, the respective values of Ɵ and p are and 1.
