JEE Main & Advanced Mathematics Straight Line Question Bank Slope of line, Equation of line in different forms

  • question_answer
    The equations of the lines through the origin making an angle of \[{{60}^{o}}\] with the line \[x+y\sqrt{3}+3\sqrt{3}=0\] are

    A)            \[y=0,\ x-y\sqrt{3}=0\]          

    B)            \[x=0,\ x-y\sqrt{3}=0\]

    C)            \[x=0,\ x+y\sqrt{3}=0\]        

    D)            \[y=0,\ x+y\sqrt{3}=0\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

               Since the line \[x+y\sqrt{3}+3\sqrt{3}=0\]makes an angle of \[{{150}^{o}}\]with \[x\]-axis. Therefore, the required lines will make angles of \[{{90}^{o}}\]and \[{{210}^{o}}\] i.e., \[{{30}^{o}}\]with the positive direction of x-axis.                    Hence the lines are \[x=0\] and\[y=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}x\].
