उत्तर
The normal form of the line \[\sqrt{3}x + y + 2 = 0\] is
\[- \sqrt{3}x - y = 2\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{- \sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{\left( - \sqrt{3} \right)^2 + \left( - 1 \right)^2}}x - \frac{1}{\sqrt{\left( - \sqrt{3} \right)^2 + \left( - 1 \right)^2}}y = \frac{2}{\sqrt{\left( - \sqrt{3} \right)^2 + \left( - 1 \right)^2}} \left[ \text { Dividing both sides by } \sqrt{\left( \text { coefficient of x } \right)^2 + \left( \text { coefficient of y } \right)^2} \right]\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{- \sqrt{3}}{2}x - \frac{1}{2}y = 1\]
Comparing the equations x cos θ + y sin θ = p and \[\frac{- \sqrt{3}}{2}x - \frac{1}{2}y = 1\] we get,
\[\cos\theta = - \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}, \sin\theta = - \frac{1}{2} \text { and }p = 1\]
∴ \[\theta = {210}^\circ \text { and }p = 1\]
