Find the equation of the line whose perpendicular distance from the origin is 4 units and the angle which the normal makes with the positive direction of x–axis is 15°.

Given:

   

The equation of the line in normal form is given by

as,

   

   

And

   

   

Hence ,

And

   

   

   

   

So,

Now, on using the formula,

   

Now, putting the values, we have

   

∴ The equation of line in normal form is:
