Solution
Here, p = 3,
\[\alpha = \tan^{- 1} \left( \frac{5}{12} \right)\]
\[\therefore\text { tan }\alpha = \frac{5}{12}\]
\[ \Rightarrow \text { sin} \alpha = \frac{5}{13} \text { and } cos\alpha = \frac{12}{13}\]
So, the equation of the line in normal form is
\[x\text { cos }\alpha + y\text { sin }\alpha = p\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{12x}{13} + \frac{5y}{13} = 3\]
\[ \Rightarrow 12x + 5y = 39\]
