Find the equation of the strainght line intersecting y-axis at a distance of 2 units above the origin and making an angle of 30° with the positive direction of the x-axis.

Find the equation of a line intersecting the Y-axis at a distance of 2 units above the origin and making an angle of 30° with the positive direction of the X-axis.

Solution

Let m be the slope of the required line,

m = tan θ

= tan 30°

∴ m = `1/sqrt3`

Here, c = y − intercept = 2

Substituting the values of m and c in y = mx + c, we get:

\[y = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}x + 2 \]

\[\sqrt{3}y = x + 2\sqrt{3}\]

\[ \Rightarrow x - \sqrt{3}y + 2\sqrt{3} = 0\]

Hence, the equation of the required line is \[x - \sqrt{3}y + 2\sqrt{3} = 0\].
