Find the equation of lines passing through (1, 2) and making angle 30° with y-axis.

NCERT Exemplar Solutions for Class 11 Maths Chapter 10 - Image 13

SOLUTION:

Given that line passing through (1, 2) making an angle 30° with y – axis.

Angle made by the line with x – axis is (90° – 30°) = 60°

∴ Slope of the line, m = tan 60°

= √3

So, the equation of the line passing through the point (x1, y1) and having slope ‘m’ is

    \[\begin{array}{*{35}{l}} y\text{ }-\text{ }{{y}_{1}}~=\text{ }m\text{ }\left( x\text{ }-\text{ }{{x}_{1}} \right)  \\ \left( {{x}_{1}},\text{ }{{y}_{1}} \right)\text{ }=\text{ }\left( 1,\text{ }2 \right)\text{ }and\text{ }m\text{ }=\text{ }\surd 3  \\ \Rightarrow ~y\text{ }=\text{ }2\text{ }=\text{ }\surd 3\left( x\text{ }-\text{ }1 \right)  \\ \Rightarrow ~y\text{ }-\text{ }2\text{ }=\text{ }\surd 3x\text{ }-\text{ }\surd 3  \\ \Rightarrow \text{ }y\text{ }\text{ }-\surd 3x\text{ }+\text{ }\surd 3\text{ }-\text{ }2\text{ }=\text{ }0  \\ \end{array}\]
