the length of the perpendicular from the origin to a line is `7` and a line makes an angle of `150^@` with the positive direction of `y`-axis . then the equation of the line is:

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The equation of line in the normal form is `x\cos \alpha+y\sin \alpha=p`
Here, `\alpha=(150^\circ+90^\circ)` as angle is given with positive `y`-axis.
`\implies \alpha=240^\circ` and `p=7`
Therefore, required equation of line is, `x\cos 240^\circ+y\sin 240^\circ=7`
`\implies x\frac{-1}{2}+y\frac{-\sqrt3}{2}=7`
`\implies -x-\sqrt3y=14`
`\implies x+\sqrt3y+14=0`
