Q2 of 319 Page 24

Reduce the following equations to the normal form and find p and α in each case :

Given:


Explanation:




Dividing both sides by



Hence, the normal form of the given line, where p = 1, cosα = and sin α =


⇒ α = 225 [ The coefficient of xand y are negative So lies in third quadrant ]
