The equation of the line through the point (-1,3) in symmetrical form, when the angle made by the line with the positive direction of X -axis is 120^ , is given by
Options
- A(x+1) -1 / 2 = (y-3) 3 / 2 =r
- B(x+1) 1 / 2 = (y+3) 3 / 2 =r
- C(x+1) -1 / 2 = (y+3) 3 / 2 =r
- D(x+1) 1 / 2 = (y-3) 3 / 2 =r
Correct answer
A. (x+1) -1 / 2 = (y-3) 3 / 2 =r
Step-by-step solution
The equation of line through the point (x₁, y₁ ) in symmetrical form, if it's inclination with positive direction of X -axis is is x-x₁ = y-y₁ =r So, the equation of the line in symmetric form where (x₁, y₁ )=(-1,3) and =120^ is x+1 120^ = y-3 120^ =r x+1 -1 / 2 = y-3 3 / 2 =r
