A straight line LL through the point (3,−2)( 3, - 2 ) is inclined at an angle of 60°60 ° to the line 3x+y=1.\sqrt{3}x + y = 1 . If LL also intersects the XX-axis, then the equation of LL is:

Options

  1. Ay+3x+2−33=0y + \sqrt{3}x + 2 - 3\sqrt{3} = 0
  2. B3y−x+3+23=0\sqrt{3}y - x + 3 + 2\sqrt{3} = 0
  3. C3y+x−3+23=0\sqrt{3}y + x - 3 + 2\sqrt{3} = 0
  4. Dy−3x+2+33=0y - \sqrt{3}x + 2 + 3\sqrt{3} = 0

Correct answer

D. y−3x+2+33=0y - \sqrt{3}x + 2 + 3\sqrt{3} = 0

Step-by-step solution

Let mm be the slope of the line,

then tan60o=∣m+31−m3∣<br/><br/>tan {60}^{o} = \left|\dfrac{m + \sqrt{3}}{1 - m\sqrt{3}}\right|<br /><br />⇒ \sqrt{3} = \left|\dfrac{m + \sqrt{3}}{1 - \sqrt{3}m}\right|<br/><br/><br /><br />⇒ \pm \sqrt{3} = \dfrac{m + \sqrt{3}}{1 - \sqrt{3}m}</p><p></p><p>∴ \sqrt{3} - 3m = m + \sqrt{3}oror- \sqrt{3} + 3m = m + \sqrt{3}<br/><br/>4m=0or<br /><br />4m = 0 or2m = 2\sqrt{3}<br/><br/>m=0or<br /><br />m = 0 orm = \sqrt{3}<br/><br/>SinceLintersects<br /><br />Since L intersectsX−axiswetake-axis we takem = \sqrt{3}<br/><br/>andget<br /><br />and gety = \sqrt{3}x + c<br/><br/>Sinceitpassesthrough(3,−2)<br /><br />Since it passes through \left(3, - 2\right), therefore line will become y−3x+2+33=0y - \sqrt{3}x + 2 + 3\sqrt{3} = 0
