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.
